New York and New Jersey

For the first time since that less than successful trip in 1997, I returned to the Big Apple, New York for an inspection. I have already gone on about the brilliant practical joke so as this is a long entry I am not going to repeat myself because I am sure I will repeat myself over pub quiz, over kickball etc..

While walking towards Penn Station I saw the Empire State Building and remembered that someone pretty close to me worked there a number of years ago. I kind of wished that I had a time Mac Hine to drop in and visit but then I remembered that it would take too long to explain who I am.

So I will start with my trip to New Jersey. I had gone to New Jersey shore in the early 1990's. I am not quite sure why you would care. The day started with a train ride to the Newark station to visit a bank someone who expected me to be taller. Then took some other random Newark only station where I befriended a little kid with his Grandma. While walking round the station I must have gotten frustrated or annoyed as the kid asked me when I saw him on the train platform, are you the guy who said "arrrgh!!".

Of greater interest was my field trip to Milburn where I met Gwen at the Milburn Deli where I was only able to eat half of the sandwich (it was of course Sandwich Friday!).

I liked the sandwich but I failed to order cheese. If you want the rest of the sandwich go to Gwen and Brian's house..

Gwen & Brian live in a nice place that has a table from the NYC library. Their rumpus room is as large as my apartment and of course they have a Frank Chu sign (I think that belongs in every home!)

Made my way back to the city on the train and met up with Andrea and Jeff. Andrea and I walked towards the Momo. We saw this long queues for a street vendors selling some sort of middle eastern food.

We had dinner at a place called China Grill. Does anybody like those bathroom attendants? I was a bit annoyed but I could not imagine that would be a job anyone would aspire to.
