This is the playground next to the Sarah Anderson Elementary School, and that boy is making it hard for you to believe my claim that I was getting really cold. But I was! He's more active than I was. In fact, I was standing still. Anyway, whether you believe me or not, I was on the lookout for hot coffee and a place to sit down.

I'm hoping you made your way to Lenny's which is on Columbus at about 85th St. I don't know if they still do, but a few years back, they had the best sandwiches I had ever eaten in my life, and, despite the New York/Jewish name of the place, the sandwich-making (pastrami specials in fact were big, as I recall) was done with elegant Japanese flair, right down to the tissue-wrapping, and you could watch the whole process as tho it was a performance piece.
But I'll have to wait til tomorrow to find out--you probably ended up at Starbuck's???
Now she tells me. No, I ended up at Le Pain Quotidien. But I didn't want a sandwich anyway. I'll try to remember Lenny's.
