Mother Nature is fickle.
I'm enjoying The Change in Manhattan. From 75 and sunny yesterday to overcast and POURING today. Welcome to an East Coast Spring! Not that I got drenched walking all of four blocks outside this afternoon -- am loving having a subway system in my life again! -- but you KNOW I don't have an umbrella!
Yes, as I mentioned, yesterday truly was a Sun Day and folks were out en masse. I rode the subway on a few errands, but decided to walk home the 30 or so blocks and enjoy the day. I followed that with some time watching people from a blanketed hillside in Central Park behind the Metropolitan Museum with my friend Michele and her sister-in-law Angie. Speaking of which, I joined the Met yesterday! I can't wait to enjoy both the park and the museum with frequency, particularly as my apartment is a mere four blocks from Central Park and five from the Met.
From there, I met my friends Jim and Amy for a margarita around the corner from my place. Showed it off on the way to ice cream, saw Jim's studio about four blocks north, and came home and attempted to do my taxes (Steph, thank you!). What's awesome about this apartment, neighorhood and New York in general is that your world is within two blocks... restaurants, dry cleaners, liquor/wine shops, grocery stores, friends, big box retailers, movie cinemas, Central Park, the Met... all right around here. It's just awesome.
This morning, friends Gary, Jim and I met and took the subway to Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop for breakfast. More for the piping hot coffee and eggs any style. The place has been around since 1929 -- with the same menu signs and coffee brewing techniques used back then. A bacon, egg and cheese toasted bagel and it was off to work!
I could get used to this real quick.
