Into The City

We decided it was time to make a break from sleppy Delaware. The girls (Diana and Noel) and I went into Manhattan to live it up a bit. We got a late start and didn't really get out of Delaware until around 1:00pm. Noel finnished sewing an Ugly Doll ("Moxy") for Scott as we drove up the length of New Jersey. We came in through the Holland Tunnel. We went up Canal St. and I missed my turn... (I have made an illegal left turn on Bowery in the past, but this time I couldn't and we were obliged to take a detour into Brooklyn.)

We parked on an alley near Scott's NYU dorm just on the north side of Houston. Scott met us ar a coffee shop across from his place. We wlaked to Washington Square, so he could show us where his graduation from NYU will be held.

We then walked to Katz's deli on Houston for sandwiches. That is one of my FAVORITE pastrami's EVER. I'd show a photo of it, but ate it so I'll I can show is the empty plate.

We headed up town to an art supply store, and walked around Gramecy Park. Noel posed at one of the swank places, but I didn't get a good shot... We headed toward the south end of Central Park... Noel shopped a few Madison Ave. spots, but since it was Saturday, some were closing around 6pm.

We kept walking and went down 5th after coming up Madison. We found a cool phot op in a store front and took one of Noel and the flourecent lights. Then We wlked to Rockefeller Plaza and eventually got up on top of the Rock. WHile we were relaxing and resting our feet, it poured rain, but luckily this meant it left some great weather for us when we got up on top. 72 degrees, and a bit of th twilight glow.

We got down to time square, which is much better now than it was in 1983 when I frist visited NYC.

Around midnight we were cruising through Little Italy for some italian ice, and eventually left around 1:00AM for the drive back to Delaware.
