My wife is 6,762 miles (10,882 kilometers) away but I get to see her every day. Before Natsuko left we got her a brand new white macbook and shortly after that I got myself a black one. The macbooks are so nice and the built in webcam is fantastic. Every morning and every evening we log on to Skype to see and talk to each other. I know webcam chat is nothing new and can never replace being together, but it really helps ease the difficulty of us being apart for 3 months.
I also must admit that deep down inside there is a part of me that gets excited that this is really like the Jetsons!
My departure to japan is fast approaching and I realized there are going to be many things I will miss about New York. One of things I might miss the most is all the food I enjoy. This is my list of all the things I need to eat before I go in no particular order.
Indicates eaten =
- Falafel from Mamoun’s.
- Dirty Water Dog (I can’t remember the last time I had one but I feel I should have one anyway)
- Street Pretzel (ditto)
- Ess-a-Bagel (best bagel in the world)
- Ali Baba Turkish food (Yogurtlu Doner )
- Taco Bell (Guilty Pleasure)
- Serious Hamburger (so many choices, Shake Shack, Jackson Hole, Smith & Wollensky etc…)
- Cuban Food from Sophie’s
- Mexican (I’m a sucker for anything with cheese and sour cream)
- Indian (anywhere on Lexington Ave. or 6th street should do)
- Pizza (nothing beats a NY slice, too much to choose from)
- Brunch at Teddy’s in Williamsburg (Poblano omelet and Bloody Mary)
- Street Fair Sausage and Peppers
More to come as I think of it.
