[…] Everything was fine until a few months ago. We had his 21st, he was working hard at uni, he had a good job and then there were changes. In his appearance. And it started when I took a leave of absence and went to New York. […]

[…] While walking back from The Frick Collection 0n our last day in New York, I walked along 5th Avenue and suddenly saw Otto Pizzeria. I realised this must be the restaurant Em had said was right across the road from our apartment. The big reason we didn’t find it is, like most places we visited in New York, it is concealed with scaffolding. […]

As a NYer who has lived abroad for a good chunk of her life (meaning I am pretty objective – and sometimes confused too about certain things) I think you described NY very well. It certainly is a much more friendly city than they always describe it (not to mention customer service, I am always in awe coming from Italy, where sales people etc. are usually not very nice). Re bathrooms, it helps to have little kids in tow, so you can use them as an excuse ;o)

Had no idea about the bathroom situation there. Hum – maybe I need to think again about going to NY. 🙂 So glad you found the people nice! I’ve heard both sides, but then I’ve never met a New Yorker that I didn’t like and here in NM we have a New Yorkers that moved here back in the 70s. Sounds like you had a great trip!

You gals covered a lot of territory, which looks like it was fun, in spite of there being so few loos. I love it that you took the carriage ride, I haven’t done it in NYC, but always do in Marrakech. I say it if for my guests on each trip, but secretly I enjoy it immensely.
