Sunday morning, we woke up and headed over to the TKTS booth
where the statue of George M. Cohan
inspired Red forgot his last name to tell us that he was the most famous scalper, written up in the Washington Post, and that we would be lucky to get tickets to anything but Proof -- which was the show we wanted.
While we waited in line, New York's finest came by to pick up garbage
in front of Times Square
while we caught this philosophy from Rob Lowe
and watched the umbrella room man
head to work. The Coca Cola sign
stood guard as did Father Duffy
and the McDonald's
promised veggie burgers but we didn't check them out.
Once we had the tickets, we walked past the Allen Iverson shirt
to Gustavino's, the lunch restaurant
where they greeted us with these rolls
as we pondered the menu.
Suzanne seemed happy
especially once her Bloody Mary
arrived to the amusement of the waitress
who had never thought that someone might want to take pictures of the smoked salmon with caviar sandwich
and French toast
that she brought us. The coffee
tasted good from the silver serving piece
and creamer.
We passed on dessert
but I did want to record the trough in the men's room
which is fairly unique in my life. We recorded the 59th
Street Bridge
which made us feel groovy and marched on. On the way back across town, we saw the church with the Irish flag (what could be more appropriate on March 17)
and this man
who proposed to save us. Down the street was the marquee for the play
but we had to stop at Medieval Times
before we could enter.
Dinner Sunday night was at Hongwei, a unique eating experience
with their drink menu
We began with porridge
accompanied by this Korean beer
and followed by ginseng salad.
At this point in the meal, the neighbors offered to take our picture, so I took theirs.
They seemed amused that we would take pictures of our food but what could you expect from a group of epidemiologists. Back to eating, the next course was stuffed persimmons with vegetable cake that was delicious (according to Suzanne).
The next appetizer was pancakes with assorted vegetables
and sauce (a la moo shu ... ). Then came the grilled tofu
and steamboat soup
fit for an emperor with walnut and dried cherries in it. The main courses were grilled root (or something)
and stuffed portobello
accompanied by kim che served both spiced (on the right) and unspiced
and multigrain rice.
This sign in the bathroom described the meal ( eating is holy )
and then there was the collection sign.
On the way back to the hotel, we walked past the set for the Today show
and decided not to come back to see Al Roker the next morning. The skaters
were active as we headed onward.
This sign
told the story of New York and of our weekend together as Suzanne tried to find the Algonquin
and this billboard
offered an opinion about HP + Compaq.
