Tonight, we had a little party at my sister's friend's apartment in SoHo, which had a cute patio. Unfortunately, I took all the pix with my Canon and I have no software here to downsize the images of my good friends for Blogger.
My sister made these delicious fish tacos and people brought some great wine that I hadn't enjoyed before--prosecco and vinho verde. I hadn't seen a lot of people in years and I was amazed at how great everyone looked--I was like dang...give me the number of your Mary Kay lady... I guess there's something to be said about staying out of the sun.
I will include this picture of this street where my sister lives in the East Village--unfortunately, I don't have a Before shot. But where there was an Eastern European travel agency (the East Village was known for a huge Ukrainian population) is now a tattoo shop. And down the street is now a small but delicious coffee shop populated by dread-locked hipsters. Yet, that shoe repair shop that sells orthopedic shoes is still in business. Pretty wild how places change, even New York.

BTW, the whole Commit2Fit and WeightWatchers programs? Yeah, out the window this trip. I am eating a day's worth of points at each meal and have not completed one healthy habit on this trip. Unfortunately, a pair of pants on this trip has already gotten too tight. Oh well, if I'm going down in flames, at least it's with a smile on my face.
Eating out in New York is neither the time or the place to healthy habit this or sensible points that. Play now, pay later, it the simple(?) formula of the ages. I love N.Y.C.!
