Rounded Shapes, Alas, and Evening Sights

A week of afternoon excursions. Here the waitress at Tea and Sympathy on Greenwich Avenue.

Sarah Laurence and I order tea and scones with cream. Yum.

We talk about books. 

Go to her site to see details of the Blogger Book Boost which seems a splendid idea.

All those long dark evenings to be filled with vicarious adventures.........

Here a chair in Tea and Sympathy -- a symphony in brown and sort of round. 

Here another symphony in brown. The pumpkin pie at City Bakery on 18th Street. More round shapes. I have a shot of hot chocolate -- the server thinks a whole cup would be too much. 

Even I have to agree.

To atone for my disgusting greed, I walk home both evenings.

The advantage of rain is that it reflects things.

Here 23rd Street opposite the Chelsea Hotel.

It might be quicker to bike.

Or hitch a ride on a truck on 8th Avenue.
