What a town!
Somewhat jetlagged for our day off in the Big Apple following the flight form Europe. Nonetheless walked half of Manhattan today trying to visit all the streets in the Village and Soho and Tribeca I can remember from Woody Allen films.
The scale and density and diversity of this city is incredible. It has everything you want and the best and worst of it all, with everything in between. You walk past the beautiful people (including Vaughan) and the next step you're walking past a down and out who's just been sleeping in the doorway.
I'm not having any trouble getting a coffee here and my eggs are coming easy over (whatever that means).
Our hotel is pretty lively and funky. The hotel calls its front desk service "Wherever, Whatever" because that's the service they give you. I've only asked for one thing so far. I asked at 7.30 this morning and it still hasn't been done. I passed on my Chairman's wise advice that he sometimes gives to me - under-promise and over-deliver.
Off early tomorrow to Baltimore to start our US visits.

Hi Ray,
ReplyDeleteYou're getting your eggs "over easy" which simply means they flip them to cook the white on the top. Order them "basted" if you want a soft yolk but the whites cooked and not flipped. If you're not from the USA, ordering breakfast in a restaurant can be a minefield of confusing decisions.
I'm looking forward to your next installment.
