You know you have a good friend when they’ll wake up at the crack of dawn to have breakfast with you when you’re in town.
We decided to meet up at Veselka in the East Village. Leave it to New York to have a 24 hour Ukrainian diner and let me tell you, it was was amazing. (Remind me, I need to find a Ukrainian place in Tokyo!)
I love catching up with a grade school friends and it always tickles me to no end when I realize that we’re both grown ups now. I mean, when did that happen?
After breakfast, I took the train back to my hotel, which I’d been wanting to do forever. Work trips usually mean we have a car service but I’d heard and read about so many people complaining about how horrible the subway in New York was, I had to try it.
But train ride was smooth sailing all the way to Grand Central Station, with no delays, accidents, or crazy people. This unfortunately meant no subway horror stories to take back with me.
Ah well, maybe next time?

That breakfast looks yummy! The subway isn’t all that bad… exce;lt for one station, i forget which one, where the directions are confusing and multiple trains pass multiple levels and destinations.

I agree, the subway wasn’t bad at all! And the breakfast was delicious, there were so many things I wanted to eat on the menu it was really difficult narrowing it down 🙂
