A trip to Greenpoint led to a tip top coffee at Cafe Grumpy and a visit to In God We Trust (more about that later). Roaming around the neighborhood (ie. getting lost) led to these pics...
Yes, that is a cage containing bagels. I have no idea why it came to be but I appreciate the creativity of its owner. And by creativity I mean how nutso they are.
So I've finally mustered enough energy to start blogging about my trip to New York. I'm afraid it'll be a bit photo heavy due to my brain still not being able to construct a proper sentence (I'm doing quite well so far though, aren't I?)
Suffice it to say, I had a lovely time. No rushing around, no incidents, just a lot of mooching and coffee drinking. Now that's my kind of holiday.
There were so many goodies to be had here but alas, I couldn't fit anything I wanted in my suitcase. I am painfully regretting not buying this gem though...
Update....I've just spotted my pasty white legs and knobbly knees in one of the pics. Apologies.
I'm off to New York at the end of this week for my birthday (hurrah!)
If any lovely readers have any tips/must see bits and pieces and most importantly, coffee recommendations they would be very welcome!
I've also decided to keep a pre/post New York sketchbook to see if my illustrations are anything like the real thing. Barney's window display is first up...
