    I think he's probably too busy shining people's shoes to meet up

    I was only joking

      Just passing through, visiting my brother in Burke. Now we’re in NYC for a couple days. Just had my first ridiculous sized Reuben at a deli near the hotel. Tonight will be my first broadway show. I’m not starring or anything, I mean just in the audience.

        What are you seeing?

        The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

            Good show. You’ll like it I think.

            Aren’t those Reubens great?

                There's one on the main street of the town near mine--all the time. He has a chair and shoe shine stand in front of a clothing store and has his truck parked nearby to do repairs. His name is Herman Baker and I stop by his establishment when I wear polishable shoes. He does a great job--makes the shoes look noticeably better than new.

                  Was very good. The Reuben that is. But I can understand why that sandwich at that price is a NYC novelty. I don’t think they’d sell anywhere else.

                  The show was great. Oddly my favorite part may have been the mood setting pre show where some actors and dancers slither around on stage and observe the audience while a steady beat plays. I thought that was very effective, even if the audience was milling around everywhere still finding their seats.

                    I don’t know why there are 4000 street food vendors and only like four types of vendor. The same vendors repeated over and over on every corner.

                      Hotdogs/pretzles, strange halal meats, roasted nuts, and Latinos with fruits, though the latter not so much in midtown.
