omni Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I just happened to arrive here in NYC the day before Obama, Gaddafi & Ahmadinejad address the UN General Assembly this morning. Traffic is a mess and lots of visible security in central Manhattan. Just saw Obama's speech on TV. Lots of demonstrators outside of the UN Building, think we'll avoid and visit the MOMA. Was just checking in as been traveling in Italy all month, as nice as that was, its good to be back in USA. Just a shot from our suite at the Mandarin Oriental. By the way, all the watches on Italians and in their shops are really huge, if they are fashion forward, that should tell you that big watches are here to stay for a while. Laters.

deltatahoe Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 forgot to add -- if you're looking for a solid meal & place for drinks close by, try the hudson cafeteria (at the hudson hotel) -- it's a (very) short walk from your hotel, you can eat outside on their cool patio, and the hangar steak from there is phenomenal deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omni Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 NY, Italy.. life sounds exciting for you Omni. What do you do for a living? Not much now, semi-retired in me 60's. Wife & I planned this trip for a year. We visited my cousins in Sydney last year and they gave us a great new acronym to live by. We are SKINS (Spend-Kids-Inheritance-Now). We are trying our best to be totally monetarily irresponsible in this bad economy by infusing cash stimulus into the system, I think its working.
