I spent most of the day in Manhattan with my kid because there is no school this week and it was a good day to have a midtown lunch date with The Daddy-Husband who works at Rockefeller Center. We ate noodles at the Sapporo Japanese restaurant on 49th Street (We used to eat at Sapporo East all the time when The Kid took Japanese language classes at the 14th Street Y in the East Village. Then there were virtually inevitable side trips to Toys R Us Times Square (www.toysrustimessquare.com) and FAO Schwarz® on 5th Avenue. My Kid did an art project, bought some bedding for her doll and added “Cookie Monster” to her menagerie because last night we watched the “Cake Boss” episode where they made a replica of the Sesame Street set out of cake and fondant.
So after I, being a cultural Catholic, “got my ashes” at Saint Patrick Cathedral and My reluctant Kid got a blessing, we had dinner at The Brooklyn Diner (ironic right?!)
On the C train riding home we found ourselves in the same car as Dick Monday and Tiffany Riley and their kids, in town for the New York Goofs classes and on their way to the hosting home of yet another New York Clown Family.
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
“Do you like my hat?”
Actually that is not how we greeted each other– that’s some Dr. Seuss text…
So anyway…
It was fun to run into another clown family out and about in New York City.
We’re everywhere.
You’d be surprised!
