Hudson Yards

We met some friends from out of town Who had 3 hours to spare So Hudson Yards was the New York We thought we’d like to share. The subway ride and escalator (Very long and deep) Were, from their usual routines, A rather giant leap. We climbed the Vessel, took some pics And strolled the High Line to The Hudson, where some piped-in music Glorified the view. The indoor shops were quite a hit And purchases were made. At Citarella, lunch was picked From gourmet foods arrayed. A little trip to Hudson Yards On a cold and sunny day Provided lots to see before Our friends went on their way.

January, 2012 I went there with my oldest son, a former Manhattanite... Also cold... rather 'invigorating,' I think the right word is. Brrrr. :)

My love for New York (I use "love" here with reserve) would be for its many cultural activities and the variety of its cuisines, expensive though many are. The same is true of many European cities, their cultural activities I mean. An enjoyable read. / M

Sounds like a lovely three-hour tour (minus the shipwrecked Minnow, I presume!) Lovely writing, Ilene!
