Taylor kept unpredictable hours. A little annoying and lots disappointing because we didn't get to do as much together as we had hoped. But it's probably going to the the story of our next couple of years so....good practice. 

I did a mini 'You've Got Mail' tour. I adore that movie and just had to come to Cafe Lalo where they meet with the book and a flower. 

If you've never heard of or seen the 1940 version of this story, I recommend it! Jimmy Stewart in The Shop Around the Corner. 

The stairs that look like this are a huge reason I love the upper west side. 

I failed to find the 152 Riverside awning but I found another memorial I wouldn't have known about with a little exploration. 

Cute bench across the way from the Civil War memorial. 

Sat and read for a while. Just beyond the trees is the Hudson River. A nice quiet spot for a rest. 

The Madeline exhibit celebrating 75 years since it's publication at the New-York Historical Society Museum and Library. It was so great! Goes until October 19.

Favorite subway station! 

I HAD to go to Levine's bakery and try one of these cookies. I went all in with the double chocolate. W-O-R-T-H IT. I couldn't eat it all at once-- it's a big mound of cookie going on there-- it took me a whole day to finish!

It's a random hole-in-the-wall place. If I hadn't been looking for it, I would have missed it completely. You have to go down the stairs to get in and see the goodies. 

Just down the street is the Doughnut Plant. Had to try a PB&J doughnut! 

Doughnut pillows! Cutesy cute!

Crunchy peanut butter and blackberry jam. Surprisingly good but I'll be fine with just one in my life. 

I wish you could see this in person. Those are presidents chillin up there on the Surrogates Court building. Across the street from City Hall. 

Goodbye, bedroom. I blanked on taking pictures of the kitchen and living room. I was waiting until we moved all of our junk but we left in a hurry. Friday afternoon traffic heading out of the city, you know?  

Off to London! Direct flight leaving 9pm ET and arriving 9am local time. About 7 hours of actual air time. We'll be zombies because we are terrible at sleeping on planes. Wish us luck!
