Jan, Kate, Robyn, Scott and I were up at 4 am for a flight to NYC for 10 days. We arrived safely and had a "great" NYC taxi ride in from the Newark Airport which is across the river in New Jersey. The NJ side of the trip was fine and fast. The NYC side was interesting. Traffic is horrendous which is expected. What was unexpected was our taxi driver getting out of the taxi at one point to go yell at someone who was blocking a lane. We were also going about 100 km per hour down some side streets with 1000's of people on the sides of the road. We are staying in SOHO this time which is in Little Italy and close to Chinatown. We had a good dinner in Little Italy at Da Gennaro. They close down Mulberry Street on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the summer. Early night as we were up early.
Update: Had a nap until 9 pm and then ventures out to Little Italy again for some pizza and beer at Toby's Public House. Also went to Rice to Riches which is a rice pudding emporium! Probably 30 different flavours of rice pudding. We had the butter pecan and caramel. Delicious.
