Don’t tell my cardiologist, but I just returned from two consecutive meat dinners filled with bloggers (around the table, not on it) — the second of which was a Brazilian churrascaria. I hoofed it back to my hotel to do what little I could to walk it off.
Happiest faces on the streets of New York tonight — the police. One word explanation for this — overtime. Last ones to leave the demonstration — the Falun Gong again. Go figure. The bad news — I’m told Internet at the convention are dodgy. Please be patient. Hasta pronto!

New York is absolutely great for walking! But you have to walk fast. I mean fast. Otherwise the natives know you’re just visiting. And never look up! That marks you as a tourist for sure!
Unless you want to be marked as a tourist, of course.
