My spring break plan for this semester was to relax in NYC, braving the cold that OBX-bound friends of mine ignorantly warned me of. But the joke was on them: my bitterly frozen heart beats little enough to not concern itself with actually warming my body, a phenomenom of which I am quite accustomed to.

I should admit, though, that I had to buy a hat because it was cold. After rubbing my nose with wool mittens all day, that olfactory-focused flesh was bright red by eveningtime yesterday, Tuesday.

As a last ditch effort to enjoy myself for my final NYC day, I went on foot all over Chinatown, basing my destinations on the recommendations of non-OBX-bound friends. Dragon Land Bakery was remarkable. The photo within the website I just linked shows the lady who selected the food I requested and her disposition in that image must be the state of her nerves before the shop opens. By the time I arrived, it took her a second of my thoughtful probing the baked goods’ names to become impatient with my rumination. Fresh Chinese sugar donuts are a hallucinogen - that good.

With some sweets in my belly, I walked from Walker St. to 34th St. for some Empire State elevation.

Until I get a chance to go through older photos first, I won’t update the Photos page with my NYC photos. But here are a few: #1, #2, #3, #4.
