I've been in Manhattan for a few days now, so it's finally time to write a blog entry about it. So far I'm really enjoying the time I spend here, although starting a new job and looking for a place to live is stress-inducing. One of the great things about Manhattan is how late everything stays open. When I flew in on Saturday, I had dinner at 11pm, and on subsequent days I usually eat around 9 to 10 pm.
Another interesting thing is that it seems that every place is also a cafe or other type of eatery. The people at work go to a furniture store for coffee. They say that "Bed Bath & Beyond" has the best burritos in the neighborhood. This is very bizarre to me.
The food is good, although not as light as California food. And the portion sizes are bigger, as well as the prices.
Well, those are pretty basic observations. More later.
