Yesterday I took my grandson to NYC to audition for NYU's dance college. We had to be there first thing in the morning until noon. Actually the process took until 1:00. So I had about 5 hours to kill in the city. I parked the car at a garage that my daughter arranged on an app on my phone, then I went for breakfast. Bacon Eggs and cheese on a hard roll please.
Hmmm, what's nearby? Oh.. a Ukrainian Museum... oops it doesn't open until noon. A brewery... ah, not until noon. The World Trade Center memorial, too far. OIC... a Planet Fitness Gym, a fifteen minute walk.
An hour later I was ready to walk back, and looked like a tourist looking at the tall buildings and checking out the different architectures. My EDC was on my keyring and left with my car, so no selfies, but it was with me in spirit.
Here is an entrance to the underground subway at Union Square. A gentleman challenged me to a game of Chess. I didn't accept, I explained that I hadn't played a game of chess in so many years, that he'd wipe the board with me in a matter of minutes.
Oh look! A monument of George Washington!
I decided to take a walk to Washington Square Park and take a picture. It was a few blocks away. After walking more than a few blocks, I realized I was walking in the wrong direction!
Where else, other than NYC, is property so expensive that they'll put cars on elevators and move them around like a rubik's cube to park them?
I needed to use the rest-room, so I spent $6.00 and change on a Pistachio Latte at a Starbucks and sat there for an hour listening to music on my airpods and reading the news, and watching people walk by. I then moved outside to sit in a concrete park, on a boulder in the sun to catch some sun rays. It was a beautiful day after all.
