I wish

it is 11:44p as I type on my laptop.
the bf is laying down next to me asleep.
I just tried to wake him up
and for the 3rd time tonight, he asked me to
wake him up in another 15 minutes.

i miss new york.
i wish we were both there right now,
taking in the sites and tastes...
especially the taste of my now favorite
Magnolia Bakery cupcakes. YUMMMM!
I think I had 4 of them when we last visited.

Aside from the crummy air,
I love New York.
If i had an opportunity to live there, I would take it.
Maybe if the bf's company opens up an NYC office?

For now, I just miss the energy
and the excitement of finding some new restaurant or
nook and cranny of this cool city.
I miss the character of the environment
as well as the very distinctive NYC culture.

what i would give for a slice of Grimaldi's pizza (or a slice of "pie" as they would say there), a Frozen Hot Chocolate from Serendipity
or some chicken and waffles from Amy Ruth's on 116th in Harlem.
I wish I were strolling around Central Park
or street vendor shopping along Broadway in SoHo.

I hope we can visit there one of these December days.
I'd love to see new York during the holiday season.
Or maybe in the fall when the leaves turn beautiful
autumnal colors.

for now i'll just dream about it while I surf the net.

good night.
