It's warm outside, it's Spring Break and have no pressing work to do for a few days. Time to relax. Over poker on Friday night (I came 2nd this time), the plan was tabled to go for curry in Queens. Queens is the borough of New York which contains Little India, and so as a Brit it was hard to resist the opportunity. Self, K, my good friend Arunabh - we are mutual outlets for each other's obsession with cricket - Lizza, Reto and his Mrs. were all in attendance. Food was good, authentic enough and fairly varied, with even a goat curry on offer. Tasted a bit overcooked to me.
It was a lazy, hazy Saturday afternoon, and we stopped for coffee in midtown Manhattan before walking back up to the Columbia area through Central Park. In complete contrast to the previous couple of weeks, the world, his wife, her mum and his dog were there. The first really warm day for months, and everyone comes out of the woodwork.
Up in Morningside Heights, too, all the cafes have put their pavement chairs and tables back out again. What with it being spring break, the place is quiet, sunny and relaxed, just enough to feel like it was when I first arrived here. I'm going to have to do some work on my MA thesis this break, unfortunately - but you gotta grab the chance to relax when it presents itself, no?
