Adventures in New York

This is the cafe called Colette where we've eaten breakfast both days so far. It's delightful.

Scottie loves it there.

We walked over the Williamsburg bridge into Manhattan. It was nice but we were buggered within an hour or so. It's super hot!

Photobucket

Here's a cute dog sitting at a Ukrainian cafe where we stopped for an iced tea.

Photobucket

Chicken sandwiches at the diner part of La Esquina, amazing stuff.

Photobucket

The holy grail of t-shirts, thanks to Sam for the tip. K-Mart here is awesome!

Later, I ate my first NY pizza slice at a place in W'Burg, accompanied by Rosie and a copy of the Williamsburg paper, with the startling lead story about a guy getting in trouble for selling lobster sandwiches by appointment.

Photobucket

Right near ground zero - pretty gnarly.

Photobucket

Century 21 discount designer store. We were here for air-conditioned hours. While Rosie busied herself finding amazing bargains, Scottie and I had adventures including an extended stint in a service elevator, chatting to employees.

Photobucket

Hot dog! I realise most of my documentation thus far has been of food.

Photobucket

Down the hatch.

Photobucket

Without realising, I paid less money than I should have for the dogs. Feels like much more because it is all in notes.

Photobucket

Battery park, scorcher.

Photobucket

We went on the free Staten Island Ferry, which is a pretty sweet deal, especially considering they sell beers.

Photobucket

Milly came along for the ride. For a window into what I have to deal with while taking photos of anyone besides Scottie, check the reflection in the window.

Statue of liberty.

Amazing portrait of me by pro photog Scottie Cameron.

Photobucket

Same caption, swap the names.

Photobucket

Amazing portrait of Rosie by me again.

Photobucket

A few stores are shut while they change their stock for the new season, but will reopen later in the week.

Photobucket

We hot-tailed it to Cafe el Portal in the lovely area of Nolita.

Photobucket

There we sampled incredibly strong margharitas, spicy guacamole and delicious corn.

Photobucket

Bloody lovely.

Photobucket

Milly fell in love with her corn, prompting a frenzy of puns.

Photobucket

Scottie, drunk off his tits.

Photobucket

Bye for now, I'm hungry! More food!
