Today was a really nice day. The sun was shining and blue skies as far as the eye could see. I was happy to get get a phone call from my friend Dan inviting me to lunch in Chinatown. Dan (a.k.a. Gastrodomus) is a total foodie. I have enjoyed many fine and memorable meals with Dan. He makes it not just fun but a learning experience.You can see Dan here photographing our yummy Vietnamese lunch.

After lunch, Dan took me on a little tour of unknown Chinatown. OK maybe not completely unknown to most New Yorkers but I can honestly say I had never been to some of these streets. The best thing about the tour is NO TOURISTS! I had never been down the street you see here. And see the couple in the corner? They were actually being photographed for what I can only assume was a engagement photo, since there was a lot of canoodling going on for the camera.

After some walking around we decided since the weather was so great we needed to have a our first ice cream cone of the season. So Dan took me to   Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. It was super yummy and well worth the wait. I guess everyone else had the same thought we did.

Overall, a fantastic day!
