UES

The 7 train wasn’t going to my stop after class this morning due to more rail work. It was running to Manhattan though and I needed no better excuse. With my Not for Tourists Guide I headed to the Upper East Side to check it out. From Grand Central the 4 train took me up to 86th where I walked across Lexington, Park, and Madison Avenues then up around 95th and back. I could definitely live there! This first pic is of Park Avenue and that lady on the corner using someone’s wheelchair to haul random things.

This was a very pricey area with tons of household things for rich households like Dean & Deluca, William and Sonoma, and european imported goods shops like this one where I grabbed a quick bite. We'll probably never call it our neighborhood but there are some unique stores worth visiting, nonetheless. You really have to live here to take in the real NYC. Over a month under my belt and there’s still SO much more fun to be had. I should start visiting the museums, maybe next week.

Tonight I decided against running in the cold and instead, ate. At least it was a healthy dinner; chicken, sweet potato, and zucchini. I got a 55cent/minute email from Jen tonight from her cruise. She’s having fun in the Bahamas and at some of the same places we visited on our honeymoon. Last pic is of the 7 coming into the station to take me home for the night. Goodnight New York!
