Fa un parell de setmanes, vam baixar a Nova York. La nostra idea original era passejar al voltant del llac de Central Park, menjar alguna cosa i anar a un club de jazz a Harlem (Uptown Jazz Lounge at Minton's Playhouse). Malhauradament vam arribar tard a Union Station i vam haver d'esperar una hora pel següent tren cap a Nova York. Quan finalment vam arribar, només vam tenir temps de caminar per Central Park i sopar. Tot i així, la nit va ser força divertida. La caminada pel llac va ser molt bonica. Era la primera vegada que passava per aquesta part del parc i també la primera que veia els gratacels de nit. Hi havia molta gent corrent i fins i tot alguna gent sopant en taules de picnic. A continuació, vam encaminar-nos cap al nord, direcció Harlem, i vam rondar cercant un lloc per sopar. La diferència entre Manhattan i Harlem no només és força òbvia si no que a més és abrupta. L'anècdota de la passejada van ser dos nois conduint quads un al costat de l'altre i fent el caballet per Madison Avenue. Vam sopar a Ottomanelli Brothers' Meat Market que està just una illa al nord de la cantonada superior est de Central Park al Latin Harlem. El menjar era bo i abundant. Jo em vaig acabar la meva hamburguesa però vam emportar-nos spaghettis amb mandonguilles de tornada cap a casa. Hi haurà temps de tornar pel jazz.

A couple of weeks ago, we went down to NYC. Our original intention was to walk around the lake in Central Park, eat something and then go to a jazz club in Harlem (Uptown Jazz Lounge at Minton's Playhouse). Unfortunately we got late to the Union Station and we had to wait for an hour for the next train to New York. So when we finally arrived, we only had time for the walk in Central Park and the dinner. Even so, the night was quite fun. The walk by the lake was beautiful. It was the first time I was in that part of the park and also the first time I saw the skyscrapers at night. There were lots of people running and even some people having dinner on picnic tables. Then we headed north to Harlem and we wandered looking for a place to dine. The difference between Manhattan and Harlem is not only quite obvious but also quite abrupt. The anecdote of the promenade was two guys riding quads side by side and doing a wheelie all along Madison Avenue. We had dinner at Ottomanelli Brothers' Meat Market which is just a block north from the upper eastern corner of Central Park in Latin Harlem. The food was good and abundant. I finished my hamburger but we took some spaghetti with meatballs back home. There will be time to go back for some jazz.
Fotos ben aviat - Pics coming up soon
