Great bike lanes in Manhattan |
Just back for the first annual Mike McGuffin 10K around
Central Park. Excepting for two miles of
stumbling behind my friend Stephanie following a bike ride I haven’t run since
June of 2010, so it was a bit of a struggle to get going. Once I got loosened up I got moving along
okay. It is another beautiful day here in
Manhattan: sunny low eighties. The Park
was crowded with runners, walkers and bikers of all shapes and sizes; a good
way to start your day.
Yesterday we went to see Porgy and Bess on Broadway, somehow
we ended up with third row seating. We
were so close that we could tell if an actor had double-knotted their
shoes. It was a good show. Don’t know how those actors turn it on every
night, and twice on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
So many people here.
Also so many cops. Melony was
observing that the NYC Police are like lifeguards at a beach: they just kind of
hang around looking over the crowd making sure things are moving along
okay. I can also see that the NYC Police
aren’t too big on PT. Interestingly enough
I’ve seen nearly zero homeless or otherwise lost people. Wonder why that is.
Yesterday we ate at Bobby Flay’s restaurant Costa Mesa, went
to Porgy and Bess, walked through Hell’s Kitchen, went to the Central Library,
Grand Central Station, Madison Square Garden (Rangers were playing) and then up
to 57th near Central Park for Pizza at Angelos. As we were exiting the Theater District I bumped
into Woodie Harrelson. He was wearing a
black suit and blue tennis shoes.
Wish I had my bike.
