Take a Bite Out of the Big Apple

I'm in New York City on vacation, and loving it! I've only been here once, also in January, about ten years ago. I wasn't that impressed then; I remember calling it a "bigger, dirtier Chicago." And although I don't expect to leave here a New Yorker, I'm liking it a whole lot better.

I'm staying with friends in a much nicer neighborhood, for one thing. And my time is much more leisured (last time was a class trip). I'm also quite a bit different from who I was back then.

Museums, walking tours, eating, and people-watching. And, of course, shopping. I still want to go see that Stoppard play...hurrah! (doing a small, gleeful dance).

Now if only I could stumble upon a taping of Law and Order...
