Our family was in NYC this week also - surprised we didn’t run into you :)
Loved the Macy’s and Saks windows (Macy’s is also an amazing store worth shopping in - if they don’t have what you want, they will send you to someone who will), Times Sq still better than in the ‘70s, forgot what a zero MOMA is except for Starry Night.
To those who downplay Manhattan, it’s ‘Murica. Yeah, it’s got everything wrong with the US these days, but it also is a wonderful monument to everything that used to be noble and great, and might be again if we could ever get rid of the dishrags and axehandles currently running things. My only complaint was the lack of Watney’s Red Barrel :)
Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Adams (though I prefer Dogfish Head), and to all Freepers!
I recently moved to the NYC area so now I'm playing host to friends and family who want to come visit the city. So I'm going to be doing the Manhattan "tourist" thing a lot more often. Also, I have an office on Lexington Ave, about a block from Grand Central so I work there now too.
BTW, my new home is in CT, about an hour from Manhattan and surrounded by acres of trees so I have retained some sanity in my life!
Just stay the hell away from Times Square for a couple of days now. :)
