A Strange Congruence on Broadway

I was walking up Broadway during lunch yesterday and came across this interesting sign. Nothing about the sign was all that interesting as there are many eating places on Broadway around 116th street. The unusual aspect of this sign that caught my attention was the building it was leaning against and that which houses the Burrito shoppe.

And sweeping up from the ornate cornerstone that the sign leans against is this formidable edifice. I will have to ask around to find out more about how this grand monument became a Burrito shoppe. I hope others than me are amused by the juxtaposition.

The real question is, am I brave enough to try the burritos?

The Best Blintz I Ever Tasted

Being ever ready to take photos of remarkable things, I had to capture this artistic and tasty treat. Blueberry blintz with cottage cheese filling. Or is it a crepe with filling with blueberry compote topping? Regardless, it was the best I ever tasted. Congratulations, Chef Lida, Breakfast in Bed will be a huge success!

Sunday at the Ball Park

Sunday afternoon at the PGE ball park in Portland, Oregon. This is the home field for the Portland Beavers, a AAA team for the San Diego Padres playing in the Pacific Coast League.

The Beavers lost the game 6-1 to the Tacoma Raniers, an affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.

A very nice Sunday in Central NJ

This is one of my favorite things about living in New Jersey, the blue summer sky with puffy clouds. This view is from Hilltop Park in Princeton, New Jersey.
