Virtues
Van Leuwen turns your sugar high into a virtue. They offer vegan ice cream, which sounds like permission, right?
I ate macadamia nuts and pecans today. Always healthy, I say.

I’ve been missing the Coffee Trail…
The barista said it all: “welcome to the best coffee in New York.
It’s a big city and I love [almost] all her many coffees.
There’s lots on this subject in my other blog sites, too. These are just 3 earlier postings.

New to me
Has it really been that long!
Of course, a New York City neighborhood can change in a New York minute. Much of what I saw yesterday around Lincoln Center wasn’t there on my last visit. So it is with my exploration today.
Not that the changing nature of NYC is such an astounding conclusion, but it was also a theme at my destination.
The Museum of the City of New York stressed all the changes we have gone through as the City evolved.
One thing that doesn’t change much is the demonizing of immigrants. The Museum is unraveling an ambitious exhibit centering around our history with newcomers.
Then there’s the places I never frequented much, so that is truly new.
Ok so
Today, I ventured out of the neighborhood.
Details or side bits are next.
