“You shoulda been here yesterday” (when the sun was shining)

ou shoulda been here yesterday”, a knowing Pam greets me with as I welcome Ken and her to New York,  preempting what I was determined not to say about yesterday’s blue sky sunny day . So be it!

The rain cheats us from enjoying lunch at one of the outside tables at Blue Water Grill on Union Square West that I’d eyed yesterday,  but lands us inside instead with a wonderful Megan from Melbourne Australia looking after us.

Megan starts us off with Bloody Marys, and knowing Aussies’ penchant for oysters, points us to small, plump Kusshi oysters from Deep Bay, British Columbia, Canada. So ‘on the mark’!

Lobster rolls are simply the best.

After lunch, ever-patient Ken suggests a spot of ‘retail therapy’ for Pam to help her stay awake a bit longer, and fend off the impulse to crash from the jet lag. So, we head off to the subway to get unlimited passes for the subway and buses, and take the Uptown Express . . . to Saks Fifth Avenue.
