As I was nearing Park Avenue I noticed two fairly flashy people in front of me. One of them looked really familiar -- took me a bit to realize it was Russell Brand wearing high boots, leather scrunched pants and long coat. He was with a woman that was wearing A LOT of makeup, 6" heels, fish net stockings with leg warmers. They quickly walked into the Four Seasons Hotel. Hmmm.
I walked to 2nd avenue and up and down a few streets to my new apartment. Below are a few photos of my place and it's surroundings ... with commentary of course.
Front door of my building. It's cute.
The building from the front. I am on the third floor, the first two windows on the right is where my kitchen is and the last window is the living room which I am going to use as the breakfast nook/ pantry. You can sort of see the bedroom on the side of the building after the black strip (they post advertising in that space).
The river is a block away, it was really gloomy out today and is probably a nice view when it's sunny out.
This little cafe has no name but when I walked past it was packed and the desserts looked amazing (and I don't even like dessert!).
Precious Pets. Shyloh's future daycare. When I went in to inquire about their services I was greeted by THE nicest man, who was also the owner. He told me that this area was full of Sheltie's! He had two sheltie's in daycare today so I was allowed to go back and check it out. So cute! What's even crazier about this place? His sister-in-law is from Regina, Saskatchewan ... crazy. Shyloh will definitely be coming here on my way to work as a treat!
Just thought I would throw this one in ... Jeffrey's wine and liquor shop - 2 doors away from my place and a cheese shop right across the street. Can't wait for Joanne to visit!
This picture isn't from near my place but was laughing at the misspelling of cigarettes.
Well, move in date is November 28th! More pics to come!

Gah! I wrote this long-ass comment, but I think it got lost when I signed in to post it. Here's the gist, in case it is actually gone:
- Looks great, love the neighbourhood, even though I never actually experienced living on the West side of town
- Your close to the Natural History Musem = awesome
- Your close to Columbus Cirlce and the Lincoln Center = awesome
- If you like jazz, make sure to check out Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola: http://www.jalc.org/dccc/. It's ajazz club in the Lincoln Center that overlooks the park.
