Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The subway map reminded me of a question I've been meaning to ask the NYistas:
What neighborhood is East 62nd Street in? Think way, way East -- beyond York Street.
(If you're familiar with the Animal Medical Center, that's where I'm thinking of -- it's where Rigatoni was hospitalized, and I've been wondering which neighborhood of Manhattan it's in.)
Council bans parents from play areas
Score one for Britain in its contest with the United States to create the stupidest fear-based society. The Watford Borough Council took the lead by banning parents from supervising their own kids in public playgrounds, "because they have not undergone criminal record checks."
The only adults allowed to monitor the kids are idiocracy-vetted "play rangers." The children's parents must "watch from outside a perimeter fence."
Generally I'd say "East Side" or "Upper East Side". I think specifically it might be "Yorkville" but it might be too low for that. [link]
I think it's too low for Yorkville. It's sort of the Sutton Place neighborhood, isn't it?
They're in my neighborhood, AND I know where they go to church. hee.
I need to make one for mac. I also need to really get serious about saving NY stuff so I can make him a scrapbook once we are gone.
I'm starting to have a hard time with the reality of leaving.
Fred - I'd call that Yorkville, but could well be wrong. I know that hospital, went once with my Baxter when his diabetes started transitioning to cancer.
It seems too high for Sutton Place somehow...
The Wikipedia articles seem to put it on the cusp of each. I'd say "its a bridge trashing a chunk of a formerly lovely neighborhoods" Like my neighborhood! [link]
(It's amazing what a bridge or tunnel can do. Above or below you can come back, but right there? It seems to stay good and dodgy.)
Yorkville is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Yorkville's northern, eastern and western boundaries include: the East River on the east, 96th Street (where Spanish Harlem begins) on the north, Third Avenue on the west and 79th Street to the south.[1] However, its southern boundary is a subject of debate.

Sutton Place is the name given to an affluent street and surrounding enclave of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. In the narrowest sense, Sutton Place is the wide (north/south) avenue located on the cusp of the Midtown and Upper East Side neighborhoods, running from 57th Street to 59th Street, along the East River, south of the Queensboro Bridge;
Now I want Shake Shack.
According to this map: [link] , it could be called part of Lenox Hill.
I want chocolate so badly, I actually called our intern to see if he would bring some in. Happily, he was already bringing some. Tragically, it isn't chocolate I like.
