The Big City

6:04 am, New Britain, CT:  So the kids and I are going into NYC today.  They barely remember it.  Drive to New Haven, Metro-North to Grand Central.

How suburban!

Lunch at Serendipity, about which I have mixed feelings, but that’s just snobbery.  A possible sighting of the every mysterious GrandMargo, e.g., my mother and their grandmother.  Certainly a subway ride or two.  And maybe a museum.

With no nap and massive stimulus, and a long trip on the backend, this is more of a flyby than an immersion.  Still, it keeps the hand in…from the West Coast, you’d believe NYC is dropping back to 70’s levels of chaos.

A good chance to see it live, and what better companions than a five and seven year old??

More to come….
