Monday in New York
Monday-
We got up early so I could move Glen's car for the street sweepers. Being from Texas, I don't have much experience driving in snow, much less in a place Manhattan. It was pretty easy, once I made it over the snow bank.
After that I started work e-mailing some folks. I ended up working at the apartment until around 3pm. Mandy who had a lot to do as well, worked across the small table at the apartment with me. We did not have anything to eat all day, so we decided to head out to get a late lunch. We went down to 5th Ave, an area we don't really know well, and explored for a place to eat. Part of the reason we went to this area is so I could pass by Marvel's corporate office. I don't know why I was expecting something else, but Marvel's office is just a non-descript building. No giant Spiderman on the door, no name on the building, no giftshop, or themed restuarant where I could order a Captain America hotdog. Sullen, I left Mandy to shop, around 4pm, and I walked to Mike Mendelsohn's office in Hells Kitchen.
Walking by the MOMA, there was man making animals out of woven weeds, I bought a little Mantis from him:
Mike is one of Powerhouse Animation's agents, and works out of a great little brownstone about a block from Letterman. Mike is a great guy, and he let me look through a bunch of notes we just recieved from a client, and use his phone to talk to Bruce back in Austin. Around 6, Mike needed to leave to make the train back home. I walked with Mike towards his train, then caught up with Mandy.
We walked around, until we made it to Central Park, around FAO Schwartz. Mandy remembered that the restaurant Tao was right around the corner. Tao is a place we have been too several times on trips to NY. It is a sushi bar/restaurant with a giant 4 story Buddha in the middle. Lights that change the tint of the room every few seconds reflect off the giant statue if Siddhartha.
The food was great, as usual. For dessert, we had a giant fortune cookie, with 1 side filled with vanilla custard and the other side filled with chocolate mousse.
After Tao, we walked through Central Park. We admired the snow, and went past Tavern on the Green, back to our apartment.

The Giant fortune cookie at Tao is sooooo good!
It is filled with White and Dark Chocolate Mousse not vanilla custard.
