This is going to be a short trip and short entry, probably. I’m in New York again for work. Only three days this time, one of which was spent flying out.
I stayed at cari and Richard’s on Sunday and watched the Seachickens lose to Pittsburgh in the Superbowl. At least the crowd wasn’t depressed like it probably was in Seattle when the game was over. Everyone here wanted Pittsburgh to win.
The next morning RIchard drove me in to town and dropped me off at the ABC studios where he works. From there I took the 1 to 28th St. and walked a few blocks to out office at 450 Park Ave. South. Work went all and I learned a lot and got a better feel for what changes need to be made and what needs to stay the same.
After work I walked around and took pictures (see gallery) of the general area. There’s a lot of buildinga whs here. :) I then decided on a whim to go up in the Empire State Building as it was just dusk and I should be able to get some good shots of the city. They had the windward sides roped off which is where the good alpenglow was but I still got some good shots of the city lighting up. It was coooolllllddd up there.
After that I headed for some dinner at Artisanal which has a nice cheese selection (I tried the Fosterhase) and a large wine list. I finished off a nice Pinot from Oregon while enjoying the ‘duck grilled under a brick’ which had the most scrumptious glaze I’ve tasted in a while.
Now I’m back at my hotel, tired and it’s not even 9pm. Ok mybe JUST 9pm. Ithink I’ll read a little then get something of a good night’s sleep. More work tomorrow and then a flight home to see Kim and Sabrina. I can’t wait!!
pwc
