Heard on the F train PA this morning: “This is York Street… Last stop in the beautiful borough of Brooklyn.” :-p

Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn: My hood is profiled in this weekend’s real estate section… Nice!

Saturday (5/4) is Gramercy Park Day! 10a-2p, but last year I got there just before 2:00p, and they were no longer admitting visitors. People were PISSED. Get there early.

The other day I am riding the 4 train, and a tall guy gets on and stands in the doorway. A couple stops later, a woman attempts to get off, and since he doesn’t even have the courtesy to move out of the way, she (unintentionally) clips him with her bag. Hard. I nearly applauded.

...

Noticed a cute little public park on the way to work today (43rd St. between 3rd and Lex). Top TV (just because): Gilmore Girls The Guardian Family Guy

...

To the young woman on the 4 train yesterday evening, I salute your generosity. You offered your seat to an elderly gentleman then gave it to another elderly man shortly afterwards. I felt like a wuss for not giving you my seat immediately.

At 3:45 this morning, I let an empty G train pass. Screw that.

It is stinking cold in New York. One more chance to win my spread pool. So close this week. Crud.
