More reasons to love this place
Today I wandered around the city aimlessly — which I’m actually really good at because I have no sense of direction. When I walk to one
place, without fail, the walk back is always longer becuase I will undoubtedly walk in the wrong direction for a fair amount of time, lose myself, and desperately try to find my way back.
ANYWAYS. Today, my walk began with the goal of making it to East 7th and Avenue A — the location of my Dad’s apartment when he lived in New York, and the title of a wonderful song he also wrote about his experience there. On my journey there and back, I came up with 3 more reasons why I love this city.
1) There are cats everywhere. In gardens. On the street. Everywhere. It makes me so very happy. Awesome cats in awesome places. I’m all about it.
2) There is a memorial to Joe Strummer. Yes.
3) When they say Chinatown, they ain’t kiddin’. This is the first time I’ve ever been truly happy I got lost on my way home, ’cause it landed me in Chinatown — the greatest unintentional detour of all time. I didn’t get a chance to stop at any restaurants/stores/etc., but when I do, another blog post will be born.
Thank you for sharing your adventures – what fun!!
Gus loves the New York kitties…!
I am SO jealous! The neighborhoods, the food, the people — lower Manhattan can’t be beat for variety and spice.
