In other news...  In short:
I met up with my friend, John, for lunch at Manhattan Bagel.  Then Central Park, Petrossian, The Parker Meridien (Burger Joint), Steinway Hall (where we sort of got kicked out?), MoMA, Columbus Circle.
Then I headed on down to Shubert Alley for 
Broadway Barks.  Bernadette Peters, Mary Tyler Moore, Angela Lansbury, Rupert Everett, Greg Jbara, Michael Cerveris, Gavin Creel, Will Swenson, Audra McDonald, etc., etc., etc.  A lots and lots of cute dogs and cats.
Then some snacks at Junior's with some friends who were also at Broadway Barks, then back up Broadway to Fairway for some grocery shopping.  And since I happened to be nearby, a stop at 
Salumeria Rosi for some 
prosciutto and 
parmacotto and 
Grom for some Raspberry and Peach 
sorbetto. 

  -I guess I was just in the mood for some 
Italia.
