So we got to the car IMG_0005 and Suzanne IMG_0006 led us in as Mr. Sferra's truck IMG_0007 showed that he was hard at work. We parked the car IMG_0008 in space 28 and bought tickets and ran IMG_0009 for the train being careful not to be executed IMG_0010 for causing trouble.

At the other end, we walked down the narrow passageway IMG_0011 to the subway IMG_0012 to 4th Street where we found the sign for Peanut Butter Co. IMG_0013 headed there IMG_0014 and decided to go in IMG_0015 for lunch. The menu IMG_0016 was impressive as was the decor IMG_0017 and miniature gift shop IMG_0018 IMG_0019 of things to do with Peanut Butter, Marshmellow Fluff, ... Sarah and Jane IMG_0020 and Benjamin IMG_0021 and me IMG_0022 and Suzanne IMG_0023 were enjoying the decor IMG_0024 IMG_0025 but were really ready for the Elvis sandwich IMG_0026 the spicy chicken and peanut butter IMG_0027 the ants on a log IMG_0028 and the more traditional fare IMG_0029 IMG_0030 IMG_0031 we had there. The bathroom had the right signs IMG_0032 and the right pictures IMG_0033 IMG_0034 so we left happily IMG_0035 and headed to Washington Square IMG_0036 to take the ceremonial picture.

As we turned onto Lafayette Street, we saw the play in the distance IMG_0037 and then closer IMG_0038 until we went in IMG_0039 but couldn't take pictures untilt he show was over and then Jane and I posed with one of the Blue Men IMG_0040 IMG_0041 as the others waited IMG_0042 for us to head ever onwards. From the back, he was still blue IMG_0043 and I could record the signs IMG_0044 recording the rules.

We walked back to Broadway and went to fcuk IMG_0045 And Aldo IMG_0046 so that we could take the obligatory phone booth picture IMG_0047 as the street scene unfolded IMG_0048 and we headed to lighting plus IMG_0049 and H&M IMG_0050 IMG_0051 where this sign IMG_0052 was ignored by Benjamin IMG_0053 as he finished his game in front of the store IMG_0054 where the others were shopping. The grate below IMG_0055 looked like this and the dirt and butts IMG_0056 came out clearly under zoom until we left IMG_0057 and read this disturbing headline IMG_0058 on a newspaper.

It was becoming dinner time, so we marched on pausing for a picture of Phat Farm IMG_0059 and a discussion of whether they spelled it right as we caught glimpses IMG_0060 IMG_0061 of the restaurant we decided to skip.

The restaurant we went to had a fine bathroom sign IMG_0062 and a menu that did not light up well IMG_0063 in the darkness. Sarah posed IMG_0064 but asked for a retake. Suzanne got it IMG_0065 on the first shot. This caused the people at the next table IMG_0066 to decide that picture taking was ok as they holidayed from Argentina. Ben did his tongue out IMG_0067 and weird face poses IMG_0068 which inspired Jane to make her washed out face IMG_0069 but my picture IMG_0070 inspired Sarah IMG_0071 Jane IMG_0072 and Ben IMG_0073 to look good for the camera.

The beer IMG_0074 photographed well but the sandwiches IMG_0075 IMG_0076 IMG_0077 didn't and we could only get Suzanne's soup IMG_0078 from afar IMG_0079 but not close. So after a few final pictures IMG_0080 IMG_0081 we said good bye to Cafe Vivaldi and headed back to the train home.

We had had a wonderful day in the city!
