NYC visit

DateMonday, July 24, 2006 at 12:55PM
Lego Batman


Above: Lego Batman at FAO Schwartz in NYC. Also check out Lego Chewbacca and Lego Hagrid.

Jeff and I went to NYC this past weekend for his father's 70th birthday celebration. We hadn't been to the city since before 9/11, and I noticed a much stronger police presence than in the past. Otherwise, New York seemed just as bustling as ever, a blur of people rushing about and yellow cabs honking.

Thanks to those who answered my booze question in LJ. Jeff and his dad both safely transported a few bottles of Innis & Gunn across the border with no problems:

This beer, introduced to Jeff by our brother-in-law Kaarel, is currently his favourite.

We visited the new 24-hour Apple store:

I did some work on a writing project in the New York Public Library:

I -so- love this library. I wish someone would hurry up and invent transporters here so I could work here whenever I wanted to. Inspirational atmosphere, quiet, spacious, plus (unlike Toronto libraries) the tables in the main reading room all have numerous power outlets and ethernet connections.

More photos and New York visit remarks in a future Blatherings. We did see and do other things in New York, but my life has recently gotten way busy with work and impending houseguests, plus I need to finish unpacking. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Looking forward to going to the David Francey concert tonight with Jeff, Walter, Allison, Jodi, Sue Posteraro and Tom Jeffers!
