Feelin' Groovy
This has been one of my best weekends in NY so far. The only real problem was that it was too short and rife with awkward dreams.
It really started friday, because friday was such a good day. I got lunch at Eat Here Now, which I've been meaning to try for months. The hostess was incredibly, trippingly cheerful, the matzo ball soup was superb and I even got a tiny bit of writing done. They also have great mozzarella sticks. After classes I went over to Cornell Medical and actually got an explination for the odd rash on my hands, which is something of a relief. Rashes are ooky and I prefer to explain them and get rid of them in short order.
After the doctor I wasn't really in the mood to hop a train home. Ever since the surgery clinics and hospitals make me very antsy. So I decided to walk down to 59th street and catch an express train. At 59th street I decided to keep waking. It was chilly, but not too cold and the blueing sky was kinda spectacular with all the lit buildings. I even discovered the Empire State Building, which I hadn't really noticed until it was lit up. So I walked down to 42nd street and went into Grand Central. I'd never been in the top of Grand Central before - it's a ritzy hotel/shopping plaza! Who knew? I got Godiva truffles. Four. :)
On saturday I slept late then went into Manhattan to get a pair of gloves. I got home glove-less, but had a great time. I went to Chinatown first - big mistake! Warm weekend days mean 8 zillion people. I skipped up to Union Square then and wandered over to 5th ave. There were no perfect gloves awaiting and in the end I strolled up first 5th ave then Broadway to Times Square. I even stopped in Macy's only to find all the gloves gone, replaced by sun glasses. Strange. I didn't even believe them at first.
Today I did nothing. It was good. All together this weekend I walked over 90 blocks, almost half Manhattan, and damn it was fun.
