…they’re dead. I had a day off today and about 10 hours to kill before my flight back to Seattle, so I decided to walk around Manhattan.
I started at 63rd and Lex, at my hotel (the Melrose), and walked over to 5th avenue. Then I started walking down 5th ave. My intention was to walk along the ave for a few blocks then take a cab down to 33rd st, the Empire State Building, and walk to the Flatiron building. Well I ended up walking the entire way to Flatiron. I took a small detour at 34th and walked over to Herald Square and Macy’s. Then I started walking down Broadway towards Union square and ended up at Washington square. I wanted to see the Village Vanguard and the Blue Note Cafe, so I walked over towards Greenwich Village. Found both of the clubs. At this point it started getting hot and muggy so I walked back over to 6th and caught a cab up to 42nd st. I wanted to see the Nintendo store. It was pretty unimpressive. Now my feet were hurting, so I caught a cab back to 63rd and Lex, showered, checked out, and now I’m killing time in the hotel lobby until about 2:30 or so.
Over a hundred pictures are in my gallery of this trip.
