Wow, its now been like two weeks since I moved my base of operations back to the Empire State. I have not really had much chance to truly enjoy it as I have been neck deep in work and other then walking around the East Village looking to refill my Starbucks container for Free , 4 walls is all that I have really seen. 4 Walls look the same whether you are in Northern Virginia , New York or just about anywhere.
On the other hand, besides the Starbucks refills there is always dinner and there is much to choose from around the “Village”. Lunch unfortunately has to be 2 slices of pizza in 5 minutes time during the few minutes that I can be “fashionably” late between meetings.
I have not noticed much different yet from the fallout of the stock market and financial collapse of the past few weeks. Almost as if people are in denial of sorts. That is often the case in Manhattan but I believe things will change quickly if the economy doesn’t right itself soon. Those restaurants need patrons after all and all the storefronts have businesses with the odd one or two closed for renovations or for a new business opening soon.
