at the corner of 8th and random
The thing about NYC is: This city is unpredictable. The BF and I stepped outside our apartment Saturday morning expecting to stroll down to Diner 24 for some pancakes with attitude. Instead, we discover 8th Avenue completely blocked off for as far as we can see in either direction, and some sort of street festival being assembled.
We're told this sort of thing happens almost every weekend, though not usually on a thoroughfare as big at 8th. The BF called it "Chinatown on Wheels," due to the overabundance of vendors selling $5 leather goods and sunglasses (and, yes, I bought a pair, ahem).
Unfortunately the weather didn't comply. It was a windy and wet 40-something as the day began, and remained cloudy and bleak most of the afternoon. This after an 80-degree afternoon on Wednesday. Unpredictable -- and kind of annoying.
