Well you could have made it in and back before the snow.. it didn't start here till about dark... but then came on down... Blown down with 30 mph winds .. drifting..
Yes.. the city has some characters still... but before it was out on the street... like the old Womans House of Dentintion... on 6th Avenue and 8th Street... a five story jail... no visiting necessary.. just stand below on the street.. and yell up to your friends...
HAY>>>Mable....MABLE...that no good pimp of yours isn't going to bail you out again.. ...WHAT>>>>> Get his lousey ass down here right away.. I can't stay in here another day.... he owes me big time.. [ I guess alot of them rode donkeys back then.. ]
it was like a continual episode of Life on the Wild Side... running 24 / 7 all broadcast up to the girls on the upper floors... by fellows on the street... now that's characters..
Well undenyablely... about the best Pizza is Lombardies on Spring and Mott Street... if you're walking up from Canal Street... but it's full pies... sit down or take out... but if you'd like a quick by the slice pizza..a little further north.. on Bleeker Street... just east of Broadway is Two Boots Pizza... two boots comes from the boot shape of Italy and the boot shape of Louisiana.. great slice with a cornmeal backing to the crust... [ crunchey ] and wonderful toppings... my favorite there is one called The Dude.. it has cheese.. and Andouille Sausage.. along with other Cajun items... but all theirs are great... by the slice.. and plenty of places to sit inside..
So.. what does it look like today in my roof top garden.... well cleaner than yesterday..with a blanket of fresh drifted snow.. here it is today... drifts from 2'.. deep... down to almost nothing... where you can see the lawn peeking up through.. The tropicals.. the Brugmansias... and the plumerias.. have all been moved inside below.. and to the cool room for dormant storage outside on the roof
