Day 10

This post is part of a series called Manhattan – Astoria We had a nice dinner last night. It was an odd place, like the nice date night spot for the college, but with live music. More importantly they had pasta and salads. I think our server told the bar tender what we were up…

Day 9

This post is part of a series called Manhattan – Astoria The dorms were comfortable but cold. When my alarm went off I found Jerry in a sheet cocoon. The “breakfast” started at 6:30 but when we got there at 7 nothing was out yet. When they did put stuff out, it was only apples…
