Best days of our lives... if not now, when? Two-thousand and ten!

Trailer Park

Gross and rainy day... schlepping across West 23rd street looking for a bite, and a see a HUGE sign, "Burger and a beer. All day and night every day." BINGO! I'm the third wheel at the bar and one other couple is finishing up at a table in the back. The bartender just looks at me like I'm annoying, so I ask if he is serving lunch to which he replies, "yes." Hmm... not much of an ice breaker, so I ask for a menu. I don't know why, because I know exactly what I want, but I didn't know if I had any options. He came back after a short while and I asked, "Do you have a burger and beer special?" He just nods. "I'll have that." Then I tell him Med Rare and ask what kind of cheese and beer I can choose from. I picked swiss and a Sam draft, which he brings in a frosty mug.... delicioso! Oh! I almost forgot... he actually CARDED me!! ROFL... the burger came with Tater Tots... who could ask for anything more? Everyone else left so its just me, my burger and beer, my blog, and the bartender. What a perfect NYC with Goldi day! Smak!
The spot is TRAILER PARK... West 23rd (7/8)... check it out!

Thank you, STARBUCKS!

Okay, so I am so proud to be a NY'er my entire adult life and I just found out something I didn't know that I didn't know...
STARBUCKS gives REFILLS! Oh yes, for 50 cents you can bring an old, dirty, STARBUCKS cup to any store and ask for a refill for 50 cents!

How awesome is that??? I have been toting around my last cup with me daily for about a week now... LOL

Even the delis charge $1 to $1.50 for a small cup of coffee, as to the street carts... so even though the first cup is NOT 50 cents, if you get enough refills... you do the math! Thanks for another unexpected gift from New York City!!!

Raccoon Family in Central Park

The last few days have been magnificent FERRIS BEULLER'S DAY OFF days... perfect weather for a stroll in Central Park... Day or Night! If you go at night, keep an eye out for Mr. and Mrs. Raccoon and their brood... they have been spotted by The Pond and surrounding paths...
