A York that is New

Ways you can know that you are hot...
You are dripping sweat --- it's not just a turn of phrase. It is literal.
You run your fingers through your hair and they come back drenched
You get a massive headache
You are waiting in the subway (the word suffocation comes to mind)
You want to run into every air-conditioned store you pass by

and the number one way...


You want to kiss the pharmacy for being your saviour (Advil, people, Advil)

And now, my thoughts on the day:
--Getting up in the morning: probable
--Finding the subway: possible
--Getting out of the apartment: impossible
Yeah, it took us about ten tries to have everything we needed. Ah well.
Stop one: Shake Shack
--Lunchtime with Valerie, amazing burgers! We got a Shroom Burger, which was a breaded portabello mushroom stuffed with really good cheese. Apparently the line gets so long it goes around Madison Square Park. Our line only took about twenty minutes.
Stop...meh, I'm sick of labeling stops. It's just not my thing. So we got to see Union Square, I sang about Emma Goldman so the earth is still on its axis. And that was totally a run-on sentence. We had lots of fun with the subway system. Got lost a little. Suffocated in the subway system. Suffocated from the never-ending stampede of people from either direction. The usual. Now, pay attention, because this is the important part. We were directed to a place called Rice to Riches, which is an ice cream parlor of Rice Pudding. Aaaaahhhhhh...heaven! We had mango and banana. It was a funky looking place too. We finally made our way to ground zero. There's no memorial there anymore, but lots of construction. We hooked up with our musician friend for a little while, and then headed on to dinner at Moustache with our cousins. At this point Elizabeth and I had both had horrible headaches, not aided by the heat, but indeed aided by the emergency stop at the pharmacy. And now we are in the apartment munching on red velvet cupcakes. Lots of fun, lots of wandering, lots of eating. Fun fun fun. Well, that's all I've got. For today. Heh heh.

Did ew know...?
The best of part about big cities is the little restaurants.
