I love the view from my hotel room. I could sit on the couch and look out the window for hours. I typically go to sleep with the curtains open so I can look out the window as I fall asleep. This morning, I woke up to see a beautiful sunrise. I knew the camera wasn’t going to capture just how magnificent it was but it turned out to be a nice picture.
Sophon and I went back to an electronics store that we had seen the night before. It hadn’t opened yet so we walked around times square before we headed back to the electronics store. We then stopped at the hotel before we headed to Union Square to meet my friend Allan for a mid-afternoon lunch at the Union Square Cafe.
We intentionally left early so that we could take our time, stopping at different places along the way. We made it a point to walk through Eataly – an Italian food court in the Flatiron district. As much as I like walking through Eataly, I have yet to eat there. Every time I have gone there, the lines have been too long.
We took a break and got something to drink at “The City Bakery” before we went to the farmer’s market in Union Square. One of the highlights of the day was sitting in Union Square Park watching people. I am always amazed by the quantity of people who live in NYC along with the diversity. The city is just as much about the people as it is the places.
We headed over the Union Square Cafe to meet my friend Allan for a late lunch. I had a salad and the gnocchi, Sophon had the soft shell crab omelette and Allan had the chicken. It was great to see Allan and get caught up. As we left the restaurant, I realized that we had spent 2 hours eating and chatting. How time flies!
