We went home for a nap, then out for a couple drinks. On Monday, we had lunch at this silly new diner on the Upper East Side - I forget what they were called, but it was packed with families with kids, I guess because it was new and shiny and full of bright colors. We would have run screaming, but we really wanted to try the vegetarian chili and 'tater tots, which were decidedly yummy. We took the bus down to 60th street, went to Borders to use up the rest of my Christmas gift cards (I got Beowulf, Middlesex, and The Joy of Vegan Baking, and still had enough left to buy DS a James Baldwin novel). Then we walked over and took the Roosevelt Island Tramway over to Roosevelt Island. I had never done it before - it was such a warm day, so it was a great time to do it:
The tram is part of the public transit system, so you just swipe your metrocard the same as if taking the subway or a bus. The view was nice.
Once on Roosevelt Island, you can walk along the river and see the skyline, including the United Nations:
All the pictures from this and the last post were taken with my favorite new toy, the Palm Centro. I'm in love with it.
