Or my second day out of three.
It’s appropro because it was after 1300 when we finally left the apt for brunch. Found a neat place in Soho where the food was good but the coffee was grrrreat!
Of course, I’ve not had proper coffee in three days so I was jonesing for a cuppa. Soho was great. Lots of boutiques and places to eat. Like Union Street with character. And an Apple Store. Yay Apple Store! But no video iPod yet…

This be one of the streets of SoHo…
After brunch, I was left to my own devices, so I went shopping. The big Dean & Deluca was nearby so I got coffee…

Yay! Look at all that coffee! How many cups could all that make?
Smelled cheese…

…mmmm cheeeeese!
Then I saw the “don’t take pictures” sign so I stopped. Dun wanna offend the food police. And besides, this is their store…
A long stroll down Broadway brought me to Century 21. Might pick up a suit tomorrow.
Then a visit to the hallowed ground that is the WTC. Possibly the only serious point in this brief NYC visit. ‘Nuff said about that.

no snazzy comment here…
Shot back up to the East Village to find a good ramen shop. I found many, including this place that makes a good tonkotsu ramen.

mmmmmmmm, tonkotsu ramen……
Only nit to pick: not enough cha-shu in the soup. The soop, btw, was delish! Almost as good as being in Hakata.
Apparently, along St.Mark’s Place between 2nd and 3rd, there’s several ramen shops and a big BIG izakaya with a queue outside.

Another good looking ramen shop. On my list for next time!

The big izakaya
Is it coincidence that all the ramen joints are within walking distance of the NYU dorms? Nope, I thought not.
