escargot, have a great trip!! The weather's supposed to be very nice on Saturday and not too bad on Sunday, when you'll be "out and about". Hopefully the weatherman's right that the rain will end by Fri evening!

If you see a couple of goofy people (with bubbles, I think??) in the paved/farmers market part of Union Square just in front of the W on Saturday and Sunday midmorning - one of them is me! (We're working on a project for a class at Parsons, and will be in the NE corner of the park for a good chunk of time over the weekend.) I'm the one with shoulder-length dark hair. ;)

I still haven't managed to *taste* anything at Chocolate by the Bald Man, so you'll have to post if you do! :D

Enjoy the weekend!!

ggreen: I wish I had seen your post before we left, and unfortunately I did not check email all weekend - we walked thru the farmers market area at Union Square both days and I certainly would have looked for you and slyly walked near everyone with shoulder length brown hair say8ing 'ggreen, ggreen' and see who might answer !! I am going to post a trip report under a different heading with many thanks - for many of your great ideas and others - we had a fabulous fabulous wknd with my daughter !
