This was just the thing we needed to brighten the cold and gloomy days were having!! ! And don't be so formal with our cream cheese! Down here we just call it Philly!!😄😄 Take care and have a wonderful week!!!!!!!
When I went to NYC for college — when we say college here in the US, we mean university, they’re synonymous to us, we don’t have anything like a UK college — this man told me Manhattan was laid out for high school graduates of that time. It wasn’t a compliment. But for someone like me with no sense of direction, the numbered streets save you. I used to study at the main public library when I was in the area. I used to work a few blocks away from Grand Central, so that was my subway stop. Nothing like being a student and having Manhattan as your (very expensive) playground, though we could get $10 student tickets to all the Broadway shows. Enjoying the series.
