S to the Now.

As of today, I have been a resident of NYC for one month. And wouldn’t you know it, the first snowstorm of the season hit. Yeeeeeeeeeee! As I walked to the bus stop this morning, my only goal was to not slip and fall on my ass. (Again with the lofty goals!) We got about 5” of snow in total, and by lunchtime the sun was shining. So I went out and took some pictures, just for you.

Here is the Christmas tree and skating rink at Rockefeller Center:





And, this is Bryant Park, which is a beautiful park right across the street from my office:



(It has a temporary skating rink set up for the holidays.) I understand that in the summertime, the library (which is right next door) puts out books for people to read and there are weekly movie screenings. I learned these fabulous facts from an acquaintance I met for drinks last night. She and her husband moved to Manhattan from L.A. about four years ago. She gave me all kinds of great information, and she even recommended a Mexican restaurant. (She also told me it took her three years to find this place – that is some serious dedication to the cause.)

Everyone has been so great about introducing me to people they know in the city. And now I get to return the favor, as a friend has asked me to meet her friend who just moved here from L.A. As long as he shares the passion for good Mexican food, we will get along just fine.
