Greetings from New York. →[More:]
Man, it was hot yesterday. Nothing to write home about for you native Noo Yawkers, but I'm not used to it. Thank goodness for Factor 45 sunblock. But today I need to buy a hat.

Diane arrived from Ohio yesterday and this morning we're going bra shopping at Town Shop, followed by a browse around Zabars (we are both foodie/cookware fans) and a nice lunch somewhere.

This evening it's pizza at Lombardi's with jonmc and Pips. Yay! Jon&Pips!

How long will you be in town? I'm going to be in DC this weekend, but will be back on Monday.

The city is prettier now that you're here.

New York pizza...
*sigh*

Stuff yourself with slices and well wishes.
Catch one of those waterfalls and do some of the things i can't. Make the most of it.

Looking forward! It's not a meet-up, per se, but any other NYC folks with a pizza craving are welcome... We're meeting at 7pm at Lombardi's.

ej, you should take a day trip to Princeton once of these visits! It's lovely, and I would happily be your tour guide.

You're heeeeeeere! I'm so excited. Wish I could be at pizza tonight, but alas, I have another engagement. Eat a slice for me! And see you Saturday!

Allow yourself to be sucked in by the Princeton tourism website...

I went almost to Princeton (to an office park in Princeton Junction, for training) a few weeks ago. Everything's nice and green. Really lovely. And I heard the town proper is dang nice.

It only takes about an hour via NJ Transit, round trip $25 or so (reminds me, gotta expense the tix).

I'll be there (Lombardi's) tannicht.

Awesome, HJ! See ya then...

Wow, you are feet from me and my office right now~
Stop by the 2nd floor of The Princeton Review building if you want to meet my office plants....

I would, but I'm headed down to Maryland tonight for the weekend. I guess this town's not big enough for the two of us.
Here's a Lombardi's preview for ya.
