Top of the heap! Notwithstanding the great time I had in Montréal it is time to move on to my new destination. I grab a nice eleven-hour train ticket and I find myself happily couched in the Big Apple! My host and my co-surfer picked me up from the train station, and drove me directly to the centre of a Friday night Times Square.
I swear, the change from the relaxed Québec favourite to the hyper-crowded, over-lit, frenzy metropolis was unexpected. I mean, I knew the place, having been there in the other millennium (including a trip to the top of the Twin Towers, hi Ally!), yet it got me unprepared. Anyway, it didn’t took that long to get acquainted with the city, and I managed to visit at least two of the places I’ve missed the other time: the MoMA and the Guggenheim.
Thanks to my host, we also enjoyed a trip to Coney Island and attended an amazing street-party in Brooklyn: once a year the people from the two facing blocks bring food, beverage and music to the street, so they get to know the neighbours. Just a few years ago this was unthinkable, due to the massive drug dealing plaguing the district, but eventually the citizens got their city back. On the same night—but not after a power-nap—Kev took us to an African-Jazz concert in Harlem!
So far, so good. What will happen next?

ok! stop THERE!
Why? Are you visiting soon? ;-)
is viale luzzati in the upper east side or closed to Lex Luger in Broccolino?
Assuming the 13th Avenue as the middle line, it is therefore in the upper west side.
Vècio! Ho una «task» per te, quando hai tempo :-)
No – unfortunately – not as soon as you can imagine…
But I’ll be there sooner or later… or much later!!! ;-)
…isn’t it a good place to live in? do U miss spritz? ;-)
