New York Keeps Caring

Thousands have been active again this Sunday for a good cause as they participated in the Alzheimer's Association's 2007 Memory Walk that took place in Manhattan, the other boroughs and across "the nation". I did not, this time, but enjoyed our late summer day with some biking in the park, under the sun and the blue sky, just by myself.

Who knows how long this beautiful late summer weather will last. It is amazing and almost a bit scary considering its past mid-October. But it is - no question asked - with no doubt better then the wet-cold late fall weather you guys have back home ;-)

In recognition of the 2007 Memory Walk, the Empire State Building blazed purple and white this weekend - as sight I don't want to deprive you of. Enjoy (while this view lasts...)














On my way home I'll stopped by Tisserie Bakery Pastry Catering at the north-west end of Union Square to pick up an oversized Luxemburgerli whose American name I was unable to understand from the shop guy who spoke better Spanish than English and a lovely dulce de leche frozen cappuccino. Tisserie's pastries are insanely yummy and the success of this Caracas, Venezuela originated bakery is unquestioned (at least considering the lines in the shop).
