Take a step back

Describe your life in an alternate universe.

It’s upside down. I am obliged to walk backward everywhere. As I back into the door, the barista tells me my order is ready. This could have happened even in our normal universe had I used the app; I hadn’t.

Why, where and withal

Construction sites are as common in my neighborhood as potholes after a rough winter.

There’s nothing quite like a crisp clear sky.

The block, 73rd between 2nd and 3rd, is a short history on both sides of the street.
There’s an Alice in Wonderland feel to this little teeny door.
A mysterious and intriguing message.
A bright shiny awning makes an old haunt shiny and new.
A bedroom set setup at curbside.

What makes a cheeseburger kosher? Plant based meat will do it. Having it both ways!

Some eateries that decorate parts of 2nd Avenue are en route. That is en my route.

Jurassic

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

In the nabe of AMNH.

Walk with me, but never in the shadow of T-Rex or Spinosaurus. Avoid the beasts of yore.

That is until you get to CPW and 81st to visit their simulations at the world renowned (AMNH) American Museum of Natural History.

Where to?

I admire the moxie when a little coffee bar sets up shop across from a Starbucks. This one uses a simple lure with the plainest of names. It calls itself Coffee. Ha! [Just “meh,” btw.]

My coffee trail reviews always stray away from the big chain. I’ve had to have a small change of heart recently.

It all started when my gorgeous friend D gave us gift cards. Her note said, “Enjoy something sweet or savory….”

Savory generally gets my attention, so I walked into my local. Their brekkie Impossible sandwich has become a habit. It’s often washed down with a shaken espresso. The air conditioning is great.

My friend J joins in. We savor the atmosphere of the business model where stay all day is a likely outcome for many patrons.
