What’s not to love about this place? Free haikus offered in the bar of our hotel where we had a drink tonight is a start.
I was feeling a little tired and angsty and a little nostalgic as it’s our last night here. I sat and read a great book that was in the library section about the buildings of NY, had a chat to Rob and then perked up a little after a mojito or two (funny that). I asked for my haiku, you just had to give them a topic.
“Give me something on the complexities of motherhood and self”.
After a high five on the topic from all three young men who sat at type writers tip pity tapping them out on small cards perched at the bar, a little while later I came back to see them and was presented with this:
And then we went and had some Korean for dinner.
This place you guys, this place.
Last night we had a drink at the Rose Bar at Gramercy Park Hotel.
We took a ride on the Roosevelt Island Tramway.
Had a superior Australian flat white coffee at Little Collins Street cafe.
Had lunch at Quality Meats.
Got a free haiku from the Haiku Guys at Arlo Hotel Bar.
FRAME THAT IMMEDIATELY!!! xxx
Its one of my most precious possessions EVER.
Wow thank you so much – glad you loved your haiku!
I loved it SO much. Thank YOU
Ha! That Haiku! Spectacular!
That, right there, is the caption to your crossing the street photo on Insta….
Perfection.
That is GOLD! I don’t want your adventure to end!! What memories you have made. We probably have 6+ years till we can do a kid-free NYC trip but I may just start a countdown on the back of your posts! ?
What hotel did you stay at in New York? I am going there next year.
We stayed at The Ludlow on the lower East side for the first 5 nights and then the Arlo in NoMad for the second 5 nights.
Oh that is AMAZING!!!! NYC, hey?
New York is great, I just can’t afford to live there as a tech journalist-unless i want to share bunk beds in a one bedroom…
you could live there beth!
then you would be our NY reporter on the job and we would know everything fabulous about that amazing city!
I haven’t been there but I feel like I have now!
well done you and @bertmag!
much love m:)X
That’s so cool! I’m going to lock that away in my memory bank in case I ever get back to New York one day. Would love a haiku of my very own.
Looks like you had a blast!
