Bridge and tunnel  
We're back. Not five minutes on the street, as we're walking down Ninth Avenue, a guy leans out a car window and asks, "Do you know where the Latin Quarter is?"

So I put on my best wiseguy and say, "Yeah, it's in fuckin' New Orleans."

I know, it doesn't make any sense, what I said, but we're fucking back.

Still laughing
what my hilarious husband neglected to mention was that as we walked away, he jumped up and down as he delightedly exclaimed "I'm back, baby!"

He's right, of course. And it feels fucking GREAT!! Oh NY. we've missed you so!

Re: Still laughing
And after we had settled in for a beer at a pub called Coppersmiths, Laura said to me, "The Latin Quarter is a night club, you know."

Well played, Sir.

How long you in town? Any chance we might meet for a ginger ale?

Good to be back where we don't need a map to get around.

So other than Monday's mill-and-swill, what brought you back?
William Shunn: Space Station Odyssey[info]shunn on November 22nd, 2008 06:55 pm (UTC)
Just the mill-and-swill! Any old excuse will do for us. Are you milling and swilling?

Not me! I don't go looking for excuses to go to New York. I'm looking for an excuse never to have to go to New York again!
