Sealed with a kiss
Aron’s cousin first shared this photo with us; it has since made its way around the internet, but I still laugh every time I see it!
Hope you have a romantic weekend!
Top notch
Ever since we got to take in the views from the Top of the Rock with Ashley’s parents–soon after moving to the city–I’ve been dying to go back. Honestly, I think about it every time there is a clear day. My family’s visit gave me the excuse I’ve been waiting for.
They have an enclosed section if the freezing, whipping, winter wind gets to be too much.
You can get fooled into thinking your not that high after a while. (But just look down.)
(Be sure you don’t miss the historic photos and videos they play while you wait in line.)
Mike the Knife Man
I spied his boxy green truck for the first time while walking past Blue Hill with friends over Thanksgiving weekend; a chef was running across the street in his checks, his knives dangling such that he looked a bit like a certain Tim Burton character, to Mike the Knife Sharpener.
I was happy to see him again in the village, with Aron, a few days later. Apparently the truck–which has been traveling with its own grinder since 1941, when Mike’s father first operated it–announces its presence with a ringing bell. Just as children come running to the song of ice cream trucks, chefs (professional and amateur alike) come running toward the bell with dull knives bundled in dish towels. Mike started riding beside his father when he was only five years old.
