Having A Great Time With Miss Polly!!


TGIF to all of my loyal and faithful readers and followers. It is another beautiful day in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.

I am happy to report that I am having a wonderful time with my dear friend Polly Mounts of West Palm Beach, FL.

Yesterday, after she finally got checked into her hotel, we met up and started a walk and wander session downtown in the World Trade Center area. Yes, we joined the teeming masses for tourists, acting like tourists ourselves.

The weather was great and it was a good walk and wander session.

Then for the evening we went to a Broadway show ...

NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT, starring Matthew Broderick and Kelli O’Hara==>A

We both loved it. Yes, I know that the critics pretty much trashed it, but, it is what it is ... a lightweight but totally enjoyable experience that will have you leaving the theater with a smile on your face. Folks, it is worth seeing.

When the show was over we walked over to Restaurant Row and had a great late dinner at Joe Allen.

It was a terrific day.

Today I am meeting up with Miss Polly at 10:00am, and after giving her a brief tour of my Hell’s Kitchen ‘hood, I will bring her to to PHC at 420 W. 42nd Street so she can see my pad in person and marvel at the incredible views.

Then we will have another walk and wander session. Our plans are to leisurely walk The High Line from its 30th Street ending down at its 14th Street beginning. We will probably catch a bite somewhere down in the Chelsea area.

Tonight @ 7:30 we will be attending a reading of a new play, BLIND ANGELS, written by our mutual friend Dick Brukenfeld. Dick is a former theater-critic for The Village Voice.

Afterwards Dick and his wife Mimi will join us for dinner at Angus McIndoe, my favorite theater district restaurant.

OK ... gotta post this and finish making PHC cootie-proof.

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>6.57 miles (or, 14,368 steps)

Total mileage since 7/1/12==>373.78 

Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>705.32

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
