Sunday in Manhattan
We made a lazy start as Georgie wanted to watch the Grand Prix. About 10.30 Georgie called an Uber to take us down to The Edge. We had a great time on open-air deck. An old rocker from Arizona took photos for us and we chatted about the bands we loved back in the seventies.
I booked lunch at the Queensyard and it was perfect. We sat overlooking Thomas Heathwick’s Vessel – a structure made up of 154 flights of stairs. After lunch Georgie bought some gifts for her kids in the Hudson Yards mall. Then we wandered down the High Line to 23rd street and called an Uber to take us back to the hotel.
That evening Georgie and I took an Uber up to the Upper West Side to have dinner with Gretchen Atkins. Gretchen’s apartment was typical New York with a canopy on the street and a doorman. We had drinks on the roof and Gretchen made us a lovely supper. It was a memorable evening with lots of chat about old times and new.
