start spreadin' the news

I'm in New York City! I'm in town for some whirlwind meetings, but when I landed yesterday I had a few free hours, so I contacted my friend Alice to see if she was free for dinner. Happily, she was.

Over the last few years, it has become a bit of a tradition for Alice to show me a part of New York I haven't seen before whenever I'm in town - one year she took me to the Meatpacking District; last year, she took me to DUMBO. This year was no exception: we walked around Soho and the West Village.

And as always, it was lovely.
