Made my apparently-traditional pilgrimage to the nearest body of water at first opportunity. Saw:
-Pothole in the intersection of 49th St and Lexington Ave, with the top 2/3 of a city trash can visible within, which could have accommodated two more.
-First 11 bicyclists seen: no helmets or lights.
-The Trump World Tower, 85 floors, all residential -- the world's largest apartment building. This I learned from a pausing bicycle tour, each member sporting a helmet, orange vest, and 2 lights.
-The MEE Noodle Shop, a chinese eat-in/takeout/delivery place doing just a crazy amount of business at 9pm. Ate a large yummy meal for $5. New York visitors should take note. 2nd Ave and 49th St.
-Did not see the East River, as there is no pedestrian walkway along it, at least at this latitude. Growl.
