Food shots:
Espresso from Cafe Grumpy in Chelsea. Mellow.
Dessert from the Spot Dessert Bar in the East Village. This was the Yuzu Eskimo – Blackberries, raspberry foam, chocolate pearls, oreo soil and chocolate ganache.
It was a neat combination of flavors. The most interesting was the Yuzu - a Japanese citrus fruit. It had a very interesting tart herbal flavor. The raspberry foam was very tart as well and predictably light. The oreo “soil” was delicious as I love oreo cookies and the chocolate was yummy as well.
I can’t remember what my friend Diane got. I think this was the White Miso Semifreddo with berries, olive oil, and raspberry sorbet with an almond tuile.

running from the thunderstorm
I happened to be on the high line when a thunderstorm hit. scary clouds loomed over hoboken until suddenly the temperature dropped 20 degrees and the full-on thunderstorm hit.

I wandered chelsea a bit.

I saw this sad spectacle of a bike. everything had been stripped except for the crankset, saddle, and brake posts. is this proof that using an old chain to secure your saddle works?

I hopped back on the high line.
