I stepped onto the metro yesterday, and bam! It was like fall fashion hit overnight. Apparently everybody's got the same schedule but me . . . still, I have been just waiting to say that phrase ever since I decided to move here. I've been thinking of bouquets of sharpened pencils all week. Might have to get me one of those.
Today marks the end of my Barnes & Noble era. It lasted just a little over a month. It was a good place to work. I laughed a lot with my co-workers, but then I also got annoyed at a lot of people. You've got to have both, I guess. And by the way, everyone who is not nice to the hard-working people in cafe-like jobs will get lumps of coal at Christmas. Just saying.
On to more adventures! This picture was taken at Eataly, where yes, they do indeed have shelves upon shelves of cheese (the good stuff). It was a little like stepping back into Italy. They had all of these Italian brands, and of course it was all really expensive. So I just got a bit of gelato. Loved their pistachio!
Now you're looking at the next picture thinking, what the heck is that?
Okay, the picture's not that great, but it's a restaurant under construction on Broadway. Guess what restaurant??? Fratelli la Bufala!!!! Legit Italian pizza! Beautiful. I will cry if they ruin it.
Also, a girl that I know swears that this is a transformer.
Do you see it? Kind of? Maybe? I guess if a transformer were to live anywhere, it would be here in NYC.
And last of all, I went to the 9/11 Memorial on Monday. If you're coming to NYC, you should see this!
Here a just a couple of pictures that I took. The water seems to fall forever. And right in the middle is that black hole, that square. The water pours into that, and you can't see the bottom. In the lower pictures, you can kind of see a few names carved into the stone where the light shines out. Since tomorrow is the 9/11 anniversary, I thought it was fitting. It's a beautiful monument as well, day or night. The museum is nearby too, if you're ever in the area.
