August 14th

Today, I visited NYC. I stayed in the Park Royal, across from the Dakota. I got scammed immediately upon my arrival. Who knew of the existence of gypsy cabs? Not I and my Los Angeles will to drive. Anyhow, it was hot and muggy and great and I could talk about the food there all day, but I won't.
