Another Bright Beautiful Day...

Sunday morning was another bright beautiful day in New York City. We went for breakfast at the local corner diner. I never said this to them; never really thought of it before, but it's kind of like 'Seinfeld.' I'll have to bring that up with them. wink

We were headed from the diner to the Upper West Side. We shopped at a flea market 'NYC-style.' It's not like the stuff they sell at them here. After the market we headed east towards Central Park.

It was a bright day in the park. The week before had been bitterly cold. You could feel the 'Spring fever' in the air as we walked along one of the lakes and over to the Bethesda fountain. The feel was palpable as it felt so good to be comfortably outside in the sunshine. Central Park really is a special place. Steve mentioned as we walked, 'Ya know, whoever thought about having this park really had the right idea.'

Jeff wanted to buy some art from a familiar vendor in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art so we walked across the park to 5th Avenue. No doubt, a great day for a walk through the park in the city.

It was about 1PM when we headed back to the west side and down to 49th St. We took the bus. We were headed to late brunch at the Delta Grill. It's a Cajun restaurant and bar. It's very cool. If you like Cajun food, you'll like it. They serve Abita beer there; Sierra Nevada, too. It was great. We walked back to the apartment; chilled for a bit and then moved on through the city on our way to dinner. We didn't know where we would have dinner but knew there would be something.

We went down to walk through the West Village. Very cool, quaint area. Small town feel; old angled cobble-stone streets. In all my recent visits to the city we had never gone down there before. It was very much fun to explore.

We had a VERY nice dinner in a trendy restaurant in the Meat Packing District. Jeff was on 'celebrity look-out.' We then continued our walking tour of that area; walked through the Chelsea Market. It was all very cool. Different neighborhood; different feel for the city. Part of the draw of NYC; I suppose, you take an underground train and pop up in a different world. I love it.

After a nice 'Spring-feel' Sunday evening walk through we took a cab back to the midtown apartment for a quiet evening at 'home.' It turned out the evening was anything but 'quiet;' as Steve entertained the cats with a new 'toy,' sorry to say I can't say a whole lot about that. wink

I hope everyone's well.
