Last night we all ate dinner at Ducca, the new Eye-talian restaurant in the Westin. Great food. I ordered the bison strip steak. Never had bison before. All I could do was keep repeating to myself "smells like fresh bison!" to people who don't remember Ren & Stimpy quite as well as I do. But when reminded, they too had their favorite scenes.

Then we walked back to the Palace and met some very interesting and aggresive panhandlers -- reminded me of the old days outside Penn Station!

Got out early this morning to get a pound of French Roast cofee beans from Peet's -- I think it'll be pretty good. Haven't been to NYC for a while so I haven't been able to stock up from Oren's.
