We're all Irish here
Saturday-
I am in New York this week. Wrote a blog about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes.
Things have been pretty fast-paced since we got here. We were supposed to leave on Friday, but due to the Northeastern Ice Storms, and becaused we flew out on Jet Blue, we did not get to Manhattan until late on Saturday. We were supposed to go to the St. Patrick's day parade but had to settle on watching them on our Direct TV monitors provided by JetBlue.
We took the train from Kennedy through Jamaica Queens to the apartment we are staying at near Lincoln Center. The apartment is nice, but New York sized, so we spent a bit of time setting things up so that Mandy and I can work while we are here.
Part of the reason we are staying here in NY is to "cat sit" Mandy's aunt's Persian cats; "Tarzan" and "Sheeba." Here is Tarzan helping me set up my work area.
We are neighbors to the ABC building, off of Peter Jennings way. After getting settled, we took off to Kennedy's Irish Pub to take in some of the waning St. Paddy's Day festivities. On the way into the very crowded bar we bumped into John Krasinski and his entourage.
We had a good time at Kennedy's. Lots of happy folks singing a long with U2 and other Irish songs. Not to lend credence to the 40's film stereotypes, but the place was crawling with police officers who were letting loose. I called one of the hosts, "sir." To which he replied "Don't call me sir, boyo, just say 'aye.' We're all Irish here." It was a really fun time.
After dinner, we went down to Rockefeller Center, since SNL was about to begin, just to see what was going on.
We took the somewhat over-priced "Top of the Rock" tour, and admired some pretty amazing views from 70-something stories above the city. Mandy is pretty scared of heights, and the views over the ledges induce a bit of vertigo, but she was a good sport. The Empire State Building was lit up green for the holiday.
We tooled around the area, took some photos, then decided to head to the apartment to watch SNL. On the way home we stopped by a little restaurant next door to the apartment for dessert.
