I went back to NYC on vacation last week with a couple of good friends from here in Bamaland; 6 days and five nights. They complained about the noise
and all the people
while I was the one happy as a pig in slop
Here's some pics
1 Looking up from street level at the New York Times bldg. Seems as if wall-e is looking down at me.
2 The snafu bar. Get it? Sna...fubar...snafu bar? Anyways I though it was corny-funny
3-7 Central Park from Top Of The Rock (70th floor of 30 Rockefeller Center)
8-9 Eric and Jud (brothers) and I at the first of what, by trip's end, would be two $300 meals
This one at Ben Benson's Steakhouse. The "Double Baileys and Coffees" had a good hold of Eric while the "Crown + Rocks" knocked Jud in the dirt
I played it safe with a glass of red wine. Pic #9 shows the $29.50 bucket of "Southern Style Chicken" in front of Eric. Jud had the $36.50 T-bone; I had the $26.50 "Slightly Smaller (16 oz.
) Fillet Mignon". Also on hand were mashed po-tots topped with carmelized onions and a plate of calamari by my right hand. they were flavored to be slightly spicy and actually cooked right. I think I may have polished off most of them
after the cucumber\sweet onion\diced tomato salad and before my steak.
