We ate fabulously ($$$$), though not always well. The thing is: It's a bunch of neighborhoods, with oddly undefined borders separating them. It could be any big modern city with precincts and arrondissements or what-have-you, that just grew up over time and never completely melded together. <br /><br />We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge in the rain, after meeting one of those huge hounds so big it comes up to your waist. This one, friendly fellow, simply reared up and put one paw on my shoulder and rested it there, as casually as you please. That's the first time--please note I'm 6'4" in stocking feet--a dog had stood up and looked me in the eye.<br /><br />Aren't animals wonderful. <br /><br />The New York of extremes. <br /><br />We visited Patchen Place, where Cummings lived.<br /><br />Next time please don't let me forget to visit Argosy Books. They're supposed to be much better than Strand's, especially since Gotham Book Mart closed. <br /><br />Tonight's the All Star Game, and Tim (improbable phenom) Lincecum is starting. Don't bother me, I'm watching!Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-81445467502558086122009-07-13T21:01:27.474-07:002009-07-13T21:01:27.474-07:00That's coincidence - I use tan for all my gall...That's coincidence - I use tan for all my galleries. The black background just does nothing for me.
