Lean on me... (go on - sing it, you know you know the words.) (13)

This is my internal Top Ten. The places I rely on to get me through the day. I lean on them, when I am not strong. They might be imperfect, but as am I friends, as am I...

Drinks anyone?

Got Visitors? (50)

Where I bring my mother, brother, best friend and the occasional lovah when they visit.

Views to ponder, stores to wander, people to watch and food to devour. Each is a great time, a good showing of NYC, and something to remember.
