Open thread - we're back!

Thank God blogger got fixed. I'm back in DC after a whirlwind 48 hours in NYC with my friend visiting from France. Well, that whirlwind ended Wednesday night, then we had the whirlwind DC and Baltimore tour the last few days. We followed a lot of your recommendations for the NYC trip - took the Staten Island Ferry, who knew it was free, totally cool - went to Gray's Papaya for hot dogs - of course went to the Empire State Building, briefly saw Central Park, went to Marcolini (I'm told the best chocolate maker in Belgium), the village, Wall Street and Ground Zero, Chelsea, and more and more and more.

We also went to see the Tony Award winning musical Avenue Q. It's really a must-see if you go to NYC. This was my second time seeing it. It's just wonderful. Basically, it's Sesame Street with sex. It's of course more than that, but you just have to go. The music is great, the acting incredible, nice small intimate theater, etc. And like I said, the Tony for best Broadway musical in 2004, so, you really can't lose. See it.

Anyway, more funny things to report as well from the week, I'll let them dribble out as they come to mind. Oh yeah, Dunkin Donuts. Fastest way to a Frenchman's heart. Especially the chocolate covered cream-filled ones.
