just for the record

(because sometimes i just need placeholders for memories on this blog)

Manhattan, NY

jan 2nd: i see von for our once-yearly "meet in a different part of the globe for 3 hours" thing, which consists, in rough chronological order, of: jelly donut (levain's!), finding the restaurant we want to go to is closed, going up and down streets trying to locate another using google maps (unreliable), sapporo, onigiri, sapporo, tuna belly, sapporo, more wandering, highly pretentious dessert place with countertop that von cannot stop admiring, more wandering, enormous second-hand bookstore, home. i look forward to more of these, ahem, but you know, touch wood, salt over shoulder etc.
