The 30 days have ended. This last week fizzled out, and I’m bummed that my lack of internet connection kept me from posting the quality musings that have been a lot of fun for me. However, I’ll be doing some tweaking of the old blog after the fact because I’m a rotten cheater. In the [...]

Thank you Jonathan!
As if by magic, the airport network “Jonathan” is up and running, and I’m able to get some internet up in this apartment again. Before someone realizes the mistake, I want to let everyone know that Vinyl Diner still has the world’s best Butternut Squash Soup. Also, one should never try the drink made of [...]

I stood up Tom Hanks
Yeah, I was not about to go up the ESB last night. Not when there was a possibility of packing! I love packing so much! I love stirring up the dust and finding things I thought I lost! I’ll go tomorrow, probably, but I’ve learned that I need to stop making promises about what I’m [...]

Actually went to the Cloisters
The overwhelming sentiment of the trip to the Cloisters taken by Chachi (a new addition to the 30 day adventures!), JRut, Birmingham and I was that we wish we had gone before, and more often. The Met’s home of medieval art is a bite-size museum nestled in the most beautiful part of Manhattan. A mere [...]

Instead of the Brooklyn Museum: a party in Walkill
Currently, the Brooklyn Museum has a great installation of Jewish Mosaics from the Roman Empire that is beautiful. They also have Egyptian art that I’ve been yearning to see. I’ve been looking forward to taking a look at their permanent collection again. So of course, I’ve been excited about first night, the day the Museum [...]

Censored
It is illegal to trespass on the High Line. I would never talk about it in a visible font.***The High Line was a High Light for Sister, Birmingham and me. Remnants of the former train tracks are accessible through a truck yard on 33rd St. & 11th Ave. You walk through the lot like you [...]

Instead of Essex Market: Hilltop Diner
Essex Market is a fantastic brunch place in that terrible neighborhood, the Lower East Side. The food is great and you get all you can drink mimosas or bloody Marys provided you relinquish your table the second you finish eating to accommodate the hoards of people waiting for a table. Of course I had my [...]

Instead of Rockefeller Center: Wollman Rink
Having changed my 30 activity plans left and right recently, I sensed that something would go wrong with my plan to skate at Rockefeller Center. I was proved right by a private party being thrown at the exact time Sister, Birmingham and I showed up to get our skate on. Realizing that Wollman rink was [...]

Instead of Angel Thai: Yum Thai
I only started eating Thai food when I moved to New York. Before that, I though that Thailand was just some oppressed place the Beastie Boys were trying to save. Then I realized that’s actually Tibet. Soon after, I saw that movie with Claire Danes, and I thought to myself, “I need to try Thai [...]

Come back, dear readers!
I should have realized I was shooting myself in the foot by promising to write yesterday. I took the day off from work to do some ordering of my affairs and packing, thinking I would have oh so much time to blog. However, the internet connection that I have been piggybacking off of went all [...]
