My Final Days

It’s still surreal to me that we won’t be living up here in a few days . . . I’m just anticipating a lot of car and train trips.  The closure of Midtown’s Steelers bar Scruffy Duffy’s and Yankee Stadium are a consolation to me in some weird way.

In the meanwhile, I’ve been trying to get a few of the touristy things I’ve wanted to do off my list. This includes Ulysses Grant’s Tomb on the Upper West Side and visiting Tom’s Restaurant.

Grant’s Tomb, the largest mausoleum in the U.S., reminded me of Napoleon’s Tomb, which it was based upon.

I only managed to start appreciating Seinfeld through reruns . . .

Visiting Tom’s reminded me of the Bull and Finch Pub in Boston. The insides just never look like they do on TV.
