First off, Simon and Alex were there? Aww, damn. I kind of love their crazy. What were they wearing? They read this site?
Secondly, breastfeeding. Okay, missed discussion yesterday, but Rob, NO ONE (except Amy Sohn perhaps, who wrote an insipid article about it) does it to show off their boobs. They do it because their kid is screaming, or because their kid is fishing the boob out and they don’t really give a damn anymore. Breastfeeding is one of those things that may seem socially awkward until you’ve experienced it. Then you don’t care. And you don’t care what anyone else thinks about it either.
That being said, nothing annoys me more (except small condos with too many bathrooms) than lactivists. Forumula is not poison. It is insane to work and breastfeed — I know this and I didn’t even have to do it.
I did the bus tours with my inlaws years ago. NEVER AGAIIIN!! Although it was funny when we drove by Stuy town and the tour guide pointed it out as “the projects.”
Thanks etson. I used to love showing guests around NYC. Now not so much. I’ll ask if they want a bus tour or boat tour and send them on their way I think. Them meet them for late lunch or dinner.
March 25 (Bloomberg) — Purchases of new homes in the U.S.
unexpectedly rose in February from a record low as plummeting prices and cheaper mortgage rates lured some buyers.
Sales increased 4.7 percent to an annual pace of 337,000 after a 322,000 rate in January, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. The median sales price fell 18 percent from February 2008, the biggest year-on-year drop since records began in 1964, and the glut of properties on the market dwindled.
benson, thanks much. I just went on the Gray Line website and their basic uptown and downtown loops look good. I appreciate the feedback.
etson, thanks to you as well. I didn’t know Circle Line did bus tours. I thought they were limited to boats. I think the weather is supposed to be nice this weekend, but I’ll make sure they wear layers on the bus.
Biff,
No view on the buses but the Circle Line is good. Whether they end up on buses or boats they need to make sure they go on a warm day. Top deck of a bus or open section of a boat gets real cold fast unless temp is above about 55-60, as guests of mine have found out to their cost before.
Biff – seriously if it’s a nice day the best ride is the Staten Island ferry – it’s free and gives you the basics of NY harbor
Wait, you all move too fast for me.

I’m off to sunny Fla for a family get together. Have a great end of week, everyone- don’t know if I’ll be able to post from down there.
cobble-, snappy- hope things happen for you!

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Was suggesting the Circle Line as a potential bus alternative because previous guests of mine have enjoyed it a lot.
omg, lol.
