(and healthy salmon with rosemary and asparagus dinner).
As everyone has posted everyone, NYC was horrifulous today- and by horrifulous I mean horrible and fabulous all at the same time.
A. Everything was down.
B. You couldn't get any cabs, and the working subways and busses were sickeningly packed.
BUT C.- people were being unusually warm and friendly--since ALL of new york's population was outside walking the streets today (trying to GET cabs, busses, subways instead of walking in 90 degree weather and 100% humidity).
They were talking about what other routes to take, which trains were down, people on the way up the escalator were telling people on the way down what to expect...it was actually the most communication I've seen between the ipod/harry potter 7 book-laden noncommunicative New Yorkers I've seen in a very very long time.
My day involved walking from the UWS to Midtown East (after taking the M66 across town) and then walking 25 blocks on foot...I should say running is more like it.
Then, sharing a cab FROM midtown back to the UWS with a guy who was already 2 hrs late to work but had to turn around because he got a call that his air conditioner was leaking in his new apt.
Then planning on being at important place number one, but instead, changing out of nice clothes due to a weather cancellation, leaving the city (by train which was on time), driving 3 hours (in a mild amount of traffic..thankfully mostly before 5pm), and then taking a really really long shower to get all of "NY in summer" off of me.
