Getting New York.

Usually everytime I pass through Manhattan on a weekend, New York "gets you" somehow, it could be parking tickets, overpriced boutique hotels with rooms the size of shoeboxes and egregious ATM fees like the Hudson, nutty traffic and just too many darn tourists. Memorial day weekend is the best time to get New York. This time I skipped Hotels for a generous invitation. The view from the apartment was stunning, the Jackie O reservoir across the street, the slowly disintergrating Guggenheim right next door. A quick stop around the corner for some books and then head downtown for some bites at old favourites..
