joeys musings!

Am feeling a little left out of the wing loop so feel the need to start my own rating scheme! Mac make up is 10/10 in nyc, ithica and everywhere else except the amish communities of pensilvania! Having a great time here, especially the delightful craft shops! Matt...they are not tat! Wish you were all here xxxx greetings to the birthday girl too xxx

30th august...

30 august

I am writing this from rockaway new jersey; sat outside what can only be described as the worlds biggest arts and crafts tat merchant. Jo, of course, is inside rummaging through the aforementioned tat as I write...

Since last time it's actually stopped raining, but new york was pretty much a wash out. Mainly just eating and drinking and taking it easy. We ate so much last night that we had to walk about two miles in order to let our dinner go down...

Wing watch part II - hot n spicy wings from mayrose diner on 21st and broadway. More tender than the last batch but similar levels of spice. 7/10.

This morning we picked up the car and have driven to ithaca in upstate new york. The ride was entertaining, we found simon & garfunkel FM, and drove through amish villages. Tonight I hope to indulge in some well deserved chicken wings and get some equally well deserved kip under my belt.

Finally, whilst we can access the internet and read emails, we can't seem to respond, but will get to the bottom of it soon!

I think joey is going to post later. Ta-ta for now...

we are here

Matt: hola, we made it here safely on sunday night. no stress at heathrow, but we did get held up at US immigrarion. I was accused of holding a canadian passport and some other hawaiin crime, whilst jo had apparently been in trouble with US government. the weather here is relentless rain, which means we are mainly just eating and drinking.

Wing-watch 1: my first portion of chicken wings were at a restaurant in spanish harlem. good tenderness, but not spicy enough. 6/10

Joey: loving the food. shopping in new york with access to matt's life savings but no room left in my bag is torture!!! still hasn't sunk in that this is more than just a weeks holiday!

hope you're all well, stay in touch...

Jo & Matt.
