New York again

I made a surprise visit to New York for Laurices special birthday, the girls and I had planned it and Laurice was expecting a quiet night when I walked in, the night before her birthday. We went out to dinner the next night and Laurice thought that was her birthday, but we had a surprise party on the Saturday night. I was only in New York for 3 weeks so had a lot to pack into a little while. Can't not make time for a visit to Mood the fantastic material shop on 37th and my favourite trim shop, Pacific Trim on 38th, the weekly poetry group and checking out my coffee places and walking 6th Ave and Soho and, and and.









Broadway at the Garment centre was decked out with models wearing some amazing clothes all made to withstand the weather and rather like the street decoration I saw in Chicago a couple of years ago









The normal subway train on the 6 line had taken a new look matching an ad campaign on 6th Avenue near 42nd street, You always need to have your camera ready in New York.







Cant miss having some rice pudding, comes in 24 flavours, at the Rice to Riches shop in Mott Street, People enjoy the rice and the owners get rich, I haven't been there enough times yet to try all the flavours, but keep trying.






Bryant Park at 42nd and 6th have the most interesting toilets in New York, girls line up on one side and boys on the other, never a very long line of boys but always a little wait to enjoy the flowers for the girls and to have a quick appearance check in the mirror.
