Greetings from NYC! We had a great flight...only about 1/3 full on the plane so could spread out and everything on time. We're very pleased with our apartment here and he owner was very nice and helpful. Lots of markets, restaurants, and services in the area so fun to shop and feel like a part of living in NYC. I'm always amazed about how friendly and helpful New Yorkers are. Raining today so impossible to get a taxi so took the bus but unlike LA where you can use bills, here only quarters, which, of course, we didn't have. Someone on the bus immediately pulled out a bag of quarters to help. And it continues on with all sorts of people helping us find our way, chat, etc. At Columbia University right now killing time as the rare books area isn't open until noon. Think we'll try to take in the Guggenheim after that.
