Lunch in New York

So far today I have taken the Staten Island Ferry (with Billy Joel playing Everybody Loves You Now), seen Wall St, the bull, the Statue of Liberty, the Friends apartment exterior, China Town and now Little Italy. I'm in the Mulberry Street bar which is a huge dive (toilet stall door is a curtain) enjoying a Sam Adams. It is famous for being in movies and TV shows (like Law and Order and The Sopranos). I did not know that before I came in. I love NY.

I'm about to walk through Nolita (listening to Vanessa Carlton, Nolita Fairytale) and then on to Broadway show number two, Race with David Spader. I will let them choose the soundtrack for that.

Phantom exceeded all of my expectations - it was phenomenal. I was excited about the experience but had heard the Michael Crawford soundtrack a million times and seen the big screen version so did not thing there was any more to see but I was wrong. As Janice would say "Oh my God".

There is more to do after Race and I am sure you are going to hear about it.

I only have a few days left in the US. I am heading to Cleveland for an overnight stay the day before I go which I am excited about. I love Cleveland and especially the people. I want to see the EY crew again (if they'll have me) and finally get a good coffee again at Phoenix.

It will be good to have conversations again - I have not had that in a while. Travelling alone in a city of 10 million people can be lonely. Feel free to email me with what is going on in your town. I'm always online or just leave comment - they get emailed to me and make me smile (Mum and Uncle Brian keep me entertained).

PS it has been lightly snowing the whole time I have been in NY- it is truly magical. Maybe God does love me.
