NYC: Good Morning, Manhattan

The temperature in New York today is going to be scorchio. In fact, it was already 26 C when I left for my run at about 9 am. Probably not the best day for strenuous activity, then, but it was so sunny...

I had planned to get the subway to Borough Hall, run along the promenade at Columbia Heights, over Brooklyn Bridge and then back up to Houston Street via the East River bike path. The subway was being crap, however, so I got off at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall on the Manhattan side instead, ran over Brooklyn Bridge and along the promenade and then back again. By that point, I was so hot, I decided to skip the East River and just run back to my shower and air con via Chinatown.

Yesterday was full of assorted adventures (and shopping) but I'll write more about those anon, because now I'm in need of a macchiato.
