Weekend in the city, July 11-14

The good weather means more outdoors. In NYC it means more “city”, but also “more things going on in the city”.
This weekend we have walked a lot, and seen quite a few interesting things around town (caveat: I am no expert in NY, although Spanish newspaper Expansion interviewed me about it last week), like:
- A Chinese-Spanish cuisine restaurant (no, I have no desire to try it any time soon; there are many others higher on my list)
- Yoga in Bryant Park
- A looooooong line of police cars going by
- The Orly Genger art installation at Madison Sq. Park
- Carnivorous plants for sale at WholeFoods (is that “vegetarian”? “vegan”?)
- Bastille Day at 60th street
- The march to request justice for Treyvon (if you don
t understand "stand your ground" and the political significance of what
s at stake, you better start reading now) and to stop the crazy vigilante gun laws being passed all over the USA

It`s nice to be able to cut through the park to go to a meeting in a nice and quick stroll, instead of having to do a subway transfer.
Or even better to be able to take a walk after dinner, to see the sunset over the Hudson river.
