24 Hours in the City That Smells Like Pee
Yes, I’ve had one full day in my old hometown, New York City. It rained most of this morning, and I had to get my running in on the hotel treadmill, rather than risk my life trying to jog my way up to Central Park from midtown. Apparently there was some sort of cycling event going on just outside our hotel.
I love the city, but it smells as bad as it did 35 years ago. Maybe they could hang a giant air freshener from the top of the Empire State Building.
Anyway, I got the most important tasks done: a couple of toasted coconut Dunkin Donuts and a pair of vanilla egg creams. If you don’t know what an egg cream is, click here for its history. It’s a typical New York concoction in that it contains neither egg nor cream.
Alas, I’m on my way out of town already. I’ll let you in on my mystery destination tomorrow. You got a problem with that?
So, I’ve been in NYC for 5 years and I had never tried egg creams. Read about it, where to find them and went yesterday to Eisenberg’s to have a vanilla egg cream (milk, soda and vanilla syrup, I saw him make it), but it didn’t taste like much… where did you get yours???
