another eye opens

a familiar sight in Astoria from the Q train

spied on Sixth Avenue from my bicycle

David and Gareth are going to Italy in October, and they invited Andy and me over to confer.

We ordered sandwiches from Sfilatino, a new Italian takeout joint on 57th Street, and went to Gareth’s house where he DJ’d an appropriate playlist (Connie Francis and Nilla Pizzi), David made Negronis, and we opined heavily and show pictures of Italy on my iPad.

The storefront that used to be Compusa looks like a David Zinn set these days.

The women who work at the post office were all atwitter about the new Miles Davis stamps, so of course I had to have some.
