New York 2007: Day One
I arrived in New York this afternoon to help my sister Melissa with her exhibit, which kicks off at the Philippine Center on Monday, July 2nd. This was my first time on JetBlue and man, what a difference DirectTV makes on a five hour flight. If I can spend part of that time watching Christopher Eccleston in Doctor Who, then it is time well spent.
After a two hour shuttle ride from JFK, my sister and I had dinner with her friend Joseph at this charming place called the Yaffa Cafe in the East Village. I gotta admit, there’s a part of me that could easily live in New York. I really do like the more bohemian neighborhoods (or the ones that pass for Bohemian), and knowing that I’m a cab/subway ride away from places like Central Park or Times Square would really make me a happy city boy. Don’t get me wrong– I love L.A. But there’s is something about a more densely packed city like NYC or SF that appeals to me. Better public transportation, less distance to cover to get to where you want. It would be nice.
Afterwards we ducked in to a K-Mart to grab some picture frames and other supplies for tomorrow’s exhibit. That will make tomorrow’s work easier!
