She skated at Rockefeller once just to be able to say she had. Her favorite, though, was Wollman Rink in Central Park. I could sit for hours watching the skaters at Rockefeller Center.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-14252342118680208732011-12-19T11:28:22.604+01:002011-12-19T11:28:22.604+01:00Ahhh beautiful New York.

In high school a couple of friends and I, three little proto-gay guys, would go into the city to Christmas shop, see a Broadway musical, then have dinner at a ground floor French restaurant in the theater district. Madame would serve us a half carafe of wine with dinner even though we were only 16 and 17 because she considered her restaurant to be a piece of French soil in NYC and she played by French rules. We felt SO sophisticated and special! The City at Christmas is magical.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-91413079106414066502011-12-11T00:12:58.017+01:002011-12-11T00:12:58.017+01:00John:

I bumped into someone and said "Lo siento" instead of "I'm sorry." It's comical. The busboy yesterday asked if Jerry wanted pepper on his salad. Jerry said, "sí, por favor."
