Sounds like a great itinerary for a long weekend.  I'd be interested on your thoughts on Keen's steakhouse. I've never been but its' on my bucket list as I'm a carnivore.  Peter Luger in Brooklyn or Gallagher's are the usual gold standards of NYC steakhouses. 

 

Across the street from Keens is a Irish sports bar called The Keg Room, one of my pre-game, post-game watering holes when attending NY Ranger games. 🙂

I like Gallagher’s .Surprisingly I never went to Peter Luger even though I lived in Brooklyn nearly 60 years.My favorite watering hole in Manhattan was McSorely’s.

Most of time my breakfast is not that extravagant. At home, usually it's a bowl of cereal or a English muffin with jelly.  But put me in a diner and I'm all about the Lumberjack Special or the HungryMan Plate.

Once a month I have oatmeal instead of the toast.Occasionaly an English muffin.On cruises I have pancakes or waffles for breakfast.

Phillies scored more in 5 innings than the Yankees did in 3 games. 😠

The 10 day forecast is looking good. Highs in the high 60's, plenty of sun.  Downright tropical for our Canadian friends and @Ocean Boy  🙂😉

Same forecast here.I hope that it stays that way for the rest of the year.When I was younger I used to go upstate to engage in Winter sports.

That was probably the worst WS for any Yankees team.

For the fans of The New Love Boat,I just heard that the show was cancelled.

Maybe it was just a parting shot by Judge? Didn't give him what he wanted , a new contract before the season started this past year.

That didn't take long. Now maybe they can move the Race up an hour.

It hasn’t been cancelled, they took it off CBS and are putting it on Paramount +.

The Red Sox had The Curse of the Bambino for 86 years. Do I have The Curse of Judge to look forward to?

That is the equivalent of a cancellation for me since I don't have Paramount.

given all the luggage concerns with airlines, I got us these air tags on sale this week

 

We fly Delta nonstop to La Guardia next Friday 🤞 Several plans in the works for our weekend in NYC: Tavern on the Green, Central Park, Keen’s steakhouse, 9/11 Memorial, Brooklyn, Meatpacking district

 

got the hair done today for the trip

 

and finally, tonight’s sunset

 

Nice photo ! You look fantastic in pastels .  My SIL ate at Jean Georges and raved about it .  Her sister dined at Tavern on the Green and she gave it a 👍.  NYC is my favorite travel destination.  I hope , you get to accomplish everything on your spreadsheet.  No Broadway play ?

I do not think he will be a Yankee next season.I think he will be on the west coast,either the Giants or the Dodgers.

That would be good.I hope that the couple who had to leave because of Covid will be allowed to be on a future show.

Jean Georges is considered by many to be the best restaurant in Manhattan.In my opinion the best is One if by Land,Two if by Sea.

Tavern on the Green is very good too.I also really like Pete’s Tavern.

I doubt that.I think they need some different players.The Yankees always had star players at every position that everyone was familiar with even if they did not follow baseball.Now they have some players that I never heard of before .

Yay!  Love NYC, it's one of my favorite cities on the planet (Vancouver BC is a close 2nd, New Orleans and Paris also up there).  We try to go every year around Christmastime. 

 

It's such a uniquely American city, nowhere else like it. I think it was the playwright Tennessee Williams who once said something like "America has three cities...New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco.  Everywhere else is Cleveland."

 

Keen's is great and historical...the mutton chop can be amazing.  We always find new and incredible places to eat.  A few of them on on our repeat list almost every visit (John's of Bleeker St. or Juliana's for pizza). Chinatown in Brooklyn is a wonderful place to eat...warm egg tarts are divine.

I am a fan of afternoon naps also, have done it on cruises for decades since I like staying up late listening to music or gambling and want to wake up early enough for breakfast.  I am sure we would all like to that picture with you and Charlie.

 

 

Stay tuned. Working on it.

My average is probably 5 hours (6 at most) and even that is not a steady sleep.   

 

With my blood pressure med I get up about every two hours to go to the bathroom. That's why I usually sleep for 7-9 hours.

I like the air tags. Are they exact? No but for the most part they can give you some peace of mind when traveling. Funny thing on the ship every time I left the cabin I got a notice that my luggage was left behind.

[ReneeFLL]

We are an hour late and still haven't left yet. Doesn't seem like the engines are on. 🤷‍♀️ They have been calling 2 people. If we don't leave soon it's going to be to dark for the video.

speaking of fridges, Nate had to fix ours tonight as it has not producing ice

 

I thought well that's an odd picture. You said Nate so I zoned in on him first. It looks like the bathroom door is open and he's on the toilet. 😂

But still less than 7 hours and I usually feel groggy the next morning. 

 

Same here, you sleep, but you don't wake up refreshed like after a "natural" sleep.

 

One of the reasons I've stopped taking sleeping pills. I reached the conclusion that after a sleepless night, I usually get 2 or even 3 nights of good, natural sleep.... Rinse and repeat....

It used to be a regular fridge, but then a big tree fell on it. 

 

 

That’s a huge tree. Glad she was ok.

Our friend donated his body to our local medical school .  UCSD took care of everything from the retrieval of his body from his home to the cremation and distribution of his ashes in the Pacific Ocean . There is an annual memorial service for the families.  

 

It was an altruistic gift . I would have to think really hard about doing this .  

We said we would donate our organs if anything was wanted or if it’s to late then science/medical. The way we see it is we’ll be dead so we won’t know what happens. That and we won’t feel a thing. 😀 Plus if it helps someone else it’s a bonus.
