Renaissance Diner

Went to MoMA with Fritz and Luswin and the Boy in the Checkered Shirt to see the Tim Burton and naked people exhibits.

After we took advantage of the warm weather and walked to the west side, discussing/arguing over where to eat. Giving up on a compromise we headed into this diner with a garden space in the back and and extensive menu. And beer. The Boy and Luswin ordered breakfast with coffee while Fritz and I ordered lunch with beer (Red Stripe).

After we continued down Ninth Avenue to Amy's Bread for some coffee. The Boy picked up a slice of German chocolate cake, the Jersey Boys selected some cinnamon twists, and I opted for an oatmeal scone. We then continued west, and walked along the Hudson River Greenway before parting ways around 23rd Street.

Bruce Springsteen "John Henry"

Worked (a little like John Henry) on my kitchen shelf.

Bus Stop Cafe

After a good workout with the Boy in the Checkered Shirt, we went for food at this West Village cafe. I ordered a chicken and goat cheese wrap, the Boy a grilled vegetable sandwich. We both had mesclun salads and water.

From there we met friends at the Eagle for a beer on their roof deck.

Northeast Kingdom

The Boy in the Checkered Shirt and I walked around a warehouse corner of the neighborhood looking at graffiti. Saw the artist working on a new wall and talked to him for a bit. Then routed ourselves to this brunch standard. I had the French toast with strawberries and plums with coffee. He had a mushroom omelet with orange juice. He ordered a cup of coffee to drink with his dry toast.

The Weekend

Warm weather, so we relaxed.
