Day 1: NJ Transit = free. Wicked lottery #1: lost. Taxi hailed in Times Square. Great dinner at Max: lasagna, gnocchi and Merlot. H&M. Local train home.
Day 2: NJ Transit = free. NJ Transit employees = odd. Very odd.
Wicked lottery #2, barely made it there on time: lost. Food at the Cosmic Diner: good food, bad NYC people experiences. Walking in the misty NYC rain (peered into the Hello Deli and saw Rupert) to the American Folk Art Museum. $14 and…well, it was so-so, not the MOMA that’s for sure. Obsessive Drawing was the best. More rain-walking, but this time with a hot salty-pretzel. Found Crate & Barrel and found some better glassware and saw our ‘everyday dishes’ – and a lot of other stuff that we registered for. More rain-walking as we passed uber-NYC-expensive jewelry stores and popped in to a few to try on wedding bands. Starbucks and a break from walking, then back to Wicked lottery #3: lost again. Tried for The Spelling Bee lottery: lost again. 4th loss. So we counted our losses (4), grabbed a couple hot dogs from the hot dog man, walked through the pretty, fog-filled Times Square streets and caught the local train back to Princeton. Good times in NYC. Thank you NJ Transit.
