Here are some random photos.
A stop at Red Mango. Yum...
An awesome sign. "Would you dump on YOUR own home?"
I love all the awesome buildings.
I was surprised by the random acts of kindness I encountered. There is a stereotype that people in New York are rude. I do not agree. I think they are very different from people from Texas. They aren't into idle chit chat. They can be intense but are usually very kind.
Here are some stories that made me smile:
1) Finn fell asleep so I strolled into a shoe store. The music was loud, but I took my chances. As soon as the worker noticed I had a sleeping child, he went behind the counter and turned down the music.
2) Walking out of Starbucks trying to carry a drink, balance a stroller on a step, and hold the door, a man stops to open the door and to my surprise then walks away. He wasn't even going into Starbucks. He just stopped to lend a hand.
3)I bought a couple of bracelets at a street market. The guy who makes them says "do you mind if I give your son something?" He then grabs a small leather braided bracelet and gave it to Finn.
These things may seem very simple but to me they really made a great impression.
Do something nice for someone today. You never know what it will mean to them.
