View from the top of the rock
You really get a feel for how large Manhattan is when you' re viewing it from this vantage point, on top of Rockefeller Center. On a map, getting from one point to another seems easy, but the numbered blocks are big and the distance between avenues even bigger.
This morning I took a 45-minute walk while Paul ran his planned 6 miles. I discovered that just 10 blocks south of our place is a movie theatre and a going-0ut-of-business Borders. Also, if we like, we can visit lots and lots of delis, coffee shops, or dry cleaners -- they're everywhere! Quite prevalent are psychic shops -- most of whom have their business on the 2nd floor above the aforementioned businesses. There are psychics on every block in our neighborhood! Who could have predicted that?
