Times Square, Friday, Nov 29, 2019
Passing by the Square, although it was only at the end of November, the day after Thanksgiving, but Christmas was already in the air. Many characters are dressed up as Santa or in red. As I was heading to the Central Park, I felt very cheerful. Blissful. Peaceful.
I rarely venture out on a Black Friday, not to mention shopping.
Not disappointed today.
Not due to shopping (concert tickets) but just enjoyed the day in the Big Apple, from the Park to the shops to the streets. Walked a hearty 6.6 miles.

Columbus Circle, Time Warner Center, Amazon Bookstore
The streets
The sun sets at different angle in different seasons – here was during the summer months. I sat out by the water to read, on a 60 degree day.

Probably will return?
Been here before for a tea, loved their view and casual attitude. It’s just right for us, before a 3pm concert.
I enjoyed my spicy mint tea and smoked salmon (lox), but the sliced 
cucumber are old, and their service could have been a little more attentive – like not wet my phone when putting down the tea pot with hot water for my tea. Not sure I heard “I’m sorry” …
My friend said it’s the best French toast ever. Maybe it is or maybe bec I was paying … Overall, the food is good …

Will return.
Inviting ambience, delicious food and good service.
7pm on a Friday evening, we were seated right away. A waiting staff was examining two wine glass against the light and when he was satisfied, he put on our table, which was next to their glass cabinet. Throughout the evening, more glasses were added to the cabinet and inspected before being placed on the tables. I thought about the dirty fork at Half Moon the other day … the devil is in the details.
Although all the food we ordered and shared were delicious, but the tender cubical calf liver is worth an extra shout: for I rarely eat inside stuff and they were yummy.
We finished two bottles of red: you can bring your own wine. Not sure they charge corkage. Before we left, they surprised us with a huge plate of fruits.
Thank you so much!!
Street parking, free after 7pm.
