Heard on Bloomberg radio that a used Toyota is asking $90,000+ in California, because of shortage of cars on the market, mostly caused by chips and so on. Then I saw a friend’s post on WeChat: she searched online for a car and then went to the Benz dealer that has the one she wanted. Various prices she encountered in a day:
This unopened box of Star Wars has 1,064 pieces for age 14+ #4483 is selling around $400 on eBay. The low is $425 and the high is $925 plus $111 shipping from Australia, unopened.
People like to invest in gold but maybe should reconsider – Lego isn’t a bad idea.
Two bags of loose legos for donation.
New York has a few stores and the new Legoland in upstate New York has opened recently.
New York Astor Court and many benefactors of the Library; and a homeless with a pigeon: dirty streets/areas, and homeless people are common scenes in New York after former Mayor Bloomberg’s 3rd term at the end of 2013.
New York: I rarely go to the northern end of the Park. Today is the third time that I walked from the south, 59th Street to 110th Street in the north, ended up with 8.2 miles in total in the city.
A year-round new pool and a rink by the Central Park Conservancy at Harlem Meer, I’ll have to detour due to closed road, to get to 110th Street and Blvd Bistro
…. and some snapshots of the City
Covid-19 testing tents are still seen; bad road: 42nd Street and 5th Ave. new
Coach handbag store at 685 Fifth Ave, displays a dinosaur that is made with their bags and leather. 165 W 57th Street was a dancing school that was named for the instructor Louis H. Chalif Normal (1876-1948). It was completed in 1916.
We’re in the neighborhood for Apollo Theater: Will return.
We seldom go to this neighborhood, so it’s treat.
Warm decor – lots wood and bricks.
Good and friendly service – I think one of the waiting staff called me mom – hugs. Yummy food.
– Shrimp grits
– chicken dinner – good too.
– Nina Simone – yummy
– Mystic Andes Malbec – good
I walked up from the Library (at 42nd Street), through Central Park, with a few wrong turns and closed road. By the time I got to the restaurant, I felt that I could eat a whole pig. The shrimp dish looks small but the large shrimps are succulent and filling. We added the chicken wings as an afterthought, is average (perhaps we’re too full to taste…).
Their bathroom is cool
Yelp has the same address but TripAdvisor has it at 239 Lenox Blvd., did it move? The restaurant sits on a corner of Frederick Douglass Blvd and 116th Street.
This legendary music hall in Harlem is locates between 7th Ave & 8th Ave. The interior is nice, walls are filled with memories.
It’s the amateur night, a full house. The energy is strong. Taking photos and videos are aggressively appreciated, encouraged, and ordered -:) and noise is encourage.
The performers are ok …
Oh well, what do I know.
The bathroom is so tiny that I’ve hard time to close the door …
Overall, it’s a fun night.
… and a fun filled day. I walked more than 8 miles, from southern end of the Central Park to the northern end.
… a few more photos
Elsewhere in the City. The giant tv at Rockefeller is showing American woman figure skater Alysa Liu (刘美贤, 2005-) at Beijing winter Olympics in the early afternoon, in anticipation of the final in a few hours.
The sales person at the dealer said, someone is picking this one up at 3pm BUT if you pay $25,000 extra, it’s yours.
