mbarrick | Arriving in Manhattan

Elaine unpacking in her Uncle Herb's apartment in Manhattan.

Elaine on Herb's balcony, with Washington Square in the background.

The view looking east from Herb's balcony.

The same view after dark.

The view toward the park after dark. The triumphal arch is being restored and is encased in scaffolding so it isn't as good as it usually is, but still...

A full moon over Gotham.

The restaurant (Dojo) that Elisabeth took us to for dinner.

Looking up from the street at Herb's balcony (the one with the two lighted trees). Shortly after this we headed out to Albion/Batcave for some clubbing which I did not photograph.

And, in case you are wondering why I "wasting time" making posts - it's hot and muggy here. We've been walking around downtown all day (including getting a bit lost on the lower east side, which was "interesting") and our general modus operandi is to retreat to the apartment in the mid-afternoon, siesta through the heat and venture out again in the evening. Last night we went up the Empire State Buidling (I'll be posting those pictures later). Tonight we're planning to go shopping on St. Mark's Place again.
