fishs eddy
this week's
Fridaycation
was spent
wandering
the East Village,
and
the edge
of the
Flatiron District
because
I was headed
to a wonderful store
Fishs Eddy
on
19th and Broadway
their website
lists the 8th Street stop
on the Nor R train
as
the
stop
closest
to the store
I wasnt really thinking
about this
when I headed out
of course
now
I realize
that was absurd
my trek
from
8th to 19th
via
Broadway
with a small detour
due
to
Union Square
was
hot,
muggy
and
yet
filled
with photo ops
so
if you are headed to Fishs Eddy
have no interest in photo ops
get off the N or R train at 14th its a lot closer
However
had
I
not
gotten off
at
8th
and
had
I
not
had to turn
round and round
trying to figure out
which way
was
up
and
which
was
down
I wouldnt have noticed
the mosaic lamp posts
I blogged about yesterday
just scroll down and you'll see
I did figure
out
which
way
was
uptown
when I spotted
tower
and
all the amazing flying buttresses
next
I walked
past
stopped
and
went back to see
then
it was
the
that caught my eye
finally
19th Street
that's Fishs Eddy
and
this
is what
overwhelms
your senses
as you
enter
aside
from
some great old diner
and
long gone eatery
dinnerware
they sell lots of things
you,
okay,
I wish
I had some use for
or
some one to gift
I didnt buy any of those
I did
buy
some dishes, bowls and a new mug
made in America
the rest of the weekend
was spent
in
shallow
pursuit
of
beautification
local errands
and
a lot of staying
inside
out
of
the
horrific humidity
I hope you had a great weekend
thanks for coming along
its really more fun with you!
