New York City: Advice for a Slightly Terrified Person

<< < (7/8) > >>

Ballard - sorry I didn't get in touch. My piece of shit Net10 phone decided to not charge ever so I've been sans telephone device in NYC.

I did have an awesome time in NYC. The NBC tour was a bit of a let down because the SNL studios were closed due to 30 Rock doing rehearsals for the live show tonight. Actually seeing Tina Fey and some of the rest of the cast made up for that though. If I didn't think it was rude to interrupt someone's conversation at a crossing then I would have tried to get a photo, but we brushed shoulders.

I also went to the Museum of Modern Art which was fantastic, oh, and the top of the Rockefeller Center which was also brilliant especially as it was so clear yesterday! I ended up talking to people from Dunoon which is about two hours north of me in Aberdeen and got a bit homesick again but I go home today so yay!

Thanks New York for being more helpful and less scary than I had thought you would be. I will bring a compass next time so I don't get lost as much.

5" ? You're gonna get eaten by a pigeon or something.

Ballard:
No problem- if you're ever around again hit me up.

It's really only possible to get lost in the West Village, and then only thanks to fucking Clement Clarke Moore (the guy who brought you the modern Santa Claus) and his soapbox tirade against the city's implementation of a grid system.

Grids: designed by people who couldn't get around Boston.

pwhodges:
Start with a grid, end up with Milton Keynes...
