West Village Date

DonHon went shopping to West Village after dropping off a pair of Hon's pants which was hooked & torn so bad that people can actually see Hon's underwear, at an infamous tailor - Hong Kong Tailor Jack.

Old couple already got tired after 30 minutes of shopping,

and stopped by Cafe Minerva for a break...

Don noticed the guy sitting next to Hon was...............

Spiderman (Tobey Maguire)!!!!!!!

Hon commented "He is an actor, but how come he has no aura?"





After coffee break, DonHon moved to the High Line,
the NYC park built on a section of the former elevated freight railroad spur called the West Side Line,
which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan;
it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway.

Preserved rail tracks match well with greens :)

Don and Standard Hotel (this place is supposedly so hip now)

This thing was carefully designed by some artist, and people are supposed to see something

when looking at this object through the small window...

Hon didn't find anything..........  (T_T)

Don didn't see anything, either.....  (;_;)


DonHon wondered what this was for.. only for a couple of seconds...



DonHon's next destination was Chelsea Market
to get some nice wines to bring to the wine dinner at Ms. K's apt.
