Tonight, I am in New York City!

I went to look at two sublets in the area near Columbia University – not quite Morningside Park.  Wow, what a difference from LA.  Both are two bedroom units with a roommate.  The first is in a fairly nice neighborhood, it’s actually around the corner from the restaurant that was featured regularly on Seinfeld.  The apartment is mini…dark, and small.  Ok… walk three blocks down and find a sunny slightly bigger (maybe?) apartment that is a 4th floor walk up. I could fit either of these apartments into the living room of my former apartment in LA… and everyone thought that was a small apartment.

I admit, the whole New York thing – is a bit overwhelming.  I just have to remember that when I first moved to LA, it was similarly overwhelming.  I remember the first time I drove to Hawthorne, I was gripping the steering wheel in a death grip.  So I am sure I will adjust and get used to things.

On the plus side, I could have eaten my way through about 20 different countries in my 10-block walk.  The smells were amazing!

Tomorrow, I head to the airport, and head off to France.  I know that trip will be whirlwind, but I am sure I will keep you all entertained.  Fortunately, I don’t think there will be any holidays that I can offend people by celebrating.  Cinqo de Mayo has already passed!

As ever,
