Welcome to NYC
Welcome to the first Suzy Guides Team blog. We are off to a new adventure to find the best New York City has to offer for the new guide book Walk NYC (publication November 2008)!
John and I arrived in the Big Apple just a few days ago. Our apartment is in the Murray Hill area, one of the many vibrant places to live in NYC. Every night throngs of young people gather at the restaurants and bars (which are plentiful) to socialize and relax.
Even though John and I have visited New York on previous occasions, living vs. visiting is a different experience. Here are some of our initial observations:
If you're walking down a NYC sidewalk...
- And there isn't a nail shop somewhere on the block, you've accidentally crossed over to Jersey.
- And English is being spoken, you're in Paris, not New York.
- And someone actually looks at you, you've been abducted by aliens and on your way to Tralfamadore.
- And you ask a question and the person looks at you like you're nuts, you're in LA. New Yorkers are helpful.
More NYC observations coming soon.
We titled The Suzy Guides blog, Notes from the Fire Escape, because we enjoy climbing out our apartment window to sit on the fire escape and watch the people pass by. People walk in New York unlike the "carmobilers" in Houston. Watching people from our 2nd floor fire escape is like having your own private reality show unfolding before your eyes. Pictures coming soon.
Videos about interesting NYC places, events and just plain fun happenings are coming soon. So visit our blog often and remember...your comments are always appreciated.
Annie and John

Dearest,
Sounds like great fun in NYC. Have always wanted to see it. At this point it's never going to happen. I'm lucky to get to go to Coleman, Tx, these days. I am fine all healed, no ongoing physical problems for now.
Love you,
Richard
