The deal in New York was that we were going to surprise Sandor at this book store where they put on plays based on childrens books. That didn't sound very exciting to me, but whatever. Sandor was supposed to arrive with Yalli while we were hiding in the back and as planned we all jumped out at just the right moment, causing Sandor to briefly become airborne with surprise/fright. So it was a good time. The play turned out to actually be enjoyable. The actors were very funny and on this evening were doing skits based on short stories written by Sandor and Yalli's children,and even a story Sandor wrote as a kid; one that his mother dug up from somewhere.
After the play we went to a jazz club where you can play ping pong and pool as the band plays on. That was nice too but i was pretty fatigued by that time. The following days were very enjoyable hanging out with friends and doing touristy stuff in New York. We did an awful lot: American Museum of Natural History (twice), Empire State Building, Times Square (lame), Brooklyn Bridge, Oldest bar in NY, only Scottish Bar in NY, Haggis, the Big toy store, Wall Street, the Hudson River, Chinatown, Soho.... Maree took pictures, as Mike said, like a Japanese Schoolgirl, so i may as well get on to showing them...
The bookstore was somewhere around here.

An expedition across Central Park. I knew where i was going, Ben didn't.
You can touch this big meteorite.
The American Museum of Natural History is full of so much excellent stuff it would take days to see it all.
It seemed like we were always driving through times square.
I've been to Blue Smoke twice now. They have great food and music.

Yeah, we did stuff like walking the Brooklyn Bridge. Pictured are Sandor, Mike, Ben and Yalli.

McSorlies is the oldest running bar in Manhatten and is worth checking out.
