Why not? Everybody else does.

Because I don't like bumping into random people who suddenly stop short in middle of the sidewalk to stare up yet another tall building. 🙂

Flatoel in Manhattan, west52nd st , great place !

the continental breakfast was nice here, cereal,granola, juice, bagels,crossaints, muffins, fruit !

We hiked over to the View and were whisked right in due to being on the vip list, we sat in the second row. Rosie was a freaking riot as was Joan ! Dr Phil was on and Lionel Richie sang ! :cheer7:

and we got goodies !!! 2 books, a cool messenger bag that has "The View embrodried on it
and Lionel's new cd !!

Bush is in town so it's crowded and crazy here, black suits everywhere, NYC PD everywhere too. We rode in a bicycle taxi to the Empire state building 🙂

You must have been one of those tourists that I pushed and shoved during lunch. 🙂

G'damn... I had to drive my semi-disabled grandfather out to LaFayette St for his lawyer appt... so after dropping him off I had to find a place to dump the car. Drove around for 30 minutes, no metered parking available anywhere - all ~10 spots were taken... I wasn't paying $20 for 30 minutes at a garage and still have to walk 7 blocks either. Wounded up down on Water St. / Battery Park / Ground Zero... and still couldn't find parking. I got a call that he was done but I couldn't find my way back up through all the buildings they put in the way of streets... took another 30 minutes to get back to him because of all the stop lights in addition.

G'damn... I hate the city. Great for tourists, sucks for people who need to drive thru. Not to mention traffic. I spent 4.5 hours in a car roundtrip that morning... and I only live 45 minutes away.

So you were the lady who bumped into me and fell on her ass. Sorry about not helping you up but I didn't want to catch what you had. That's one nasy rash you have.
