"It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write. ”
It's weird, even though I've lived in NYC practically all my life, I've never seen the fireworks. Never really cared to fight the crowds. This year though, I saw them from a friend's apartment in Jersey and I was impressed! I just wished they lasted longer.
What an amazing view you had! I used to be able to watch our city fireworks from my back porch... now we watch them from my mothers office. I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
hmm. i only get a black screen instead of a video... but its ok. i'm glad you had a good time. i love hearing the crowd go ooooh and ahhhh when the fireworks go off. and sitting on the grass trying to keep warm with the blanket we bring to sit on.
I love fireworks. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. It was a lame one this year, but that's partly due to the fact that my husband and I don't like each other very much. We lit a few fireworks in the back alley, then I went to a friends house to celebrate over beer, pizza, and a few more fireworks. It was lame. Next year I should plan a trip to see some sweet fireworks, eat a lot of watermelon, and a huge grilled burger. :)
New York is at the top 5 of my bucket list. I really want to go see Whitney Houston perform in time square in september. Haha. Must've been some fireworks show.
