The street outside our apartment is usually quite busy, but today for a much more fun reason, the NYC Marathon! From right outside our front door (and fire-escape which Jen climbed out on) we cheered on the Chilean miner, Chef Bobby Flay, and friends competing in the run. What’s cool it that each participant is given a chip to attach to their shoe so you can track their location online and know when they’re getting close. We tried tracking Jen's friend Anna who was here from FL for the race, but must have missed her. As you can see in the pics it was a beautiful, crisp day. Also pictured is one of the designated PowerAde hydration stations about a block away.
It was a big deal that left tons of litter behind, so I was surprised to see that by this evening the streets were all cleaned up and it was back to normal for Vernon Blvd. For dinner tonight we used one of our Groupon coupons at El Ay Si down the street. $30 certificate for $15, whoop!
