A Walk & Lunch
One of the fabulous things about life here in the Big Apple is the range of ethnic foods. It's actually easy to become jaded because there are so many choices. If you want Asian food, you can choose not only from Chinese and Japanese, but also Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, and Malaysian. Yet, there are times I have passed on one of these choices because I am tired of Asian food, even though there are notable differences between these foods.
Alas, I digress. This afternoon, I walked from my apartment in Forest Hills to Shea Stadium, obviously not because there was a game, but because it was a nice afternoon for a walk. Instead of walking home, I hopped on the 7 train to Jackson Heights to transfer to a train back to Forest Hills. As I was descending to the Queens Boulevard line, I remembered that Jackson Heights is home of the wonderful Jackson Diner, an Indian restaurant. On the spur of the moment, I decided to get some take out, which turned out to be goat curry, rice, and Nan. I just polished it off a few minutes ago. Delicious and well worth the side trip.
Now, if I want to do some work the rest of the evening, I won't feel I am missing out, having spent an excellent few hours this afternoon. Nor will I feel bad about being cooped up tomorrow when bad weather hits. I even have some goat curry left over for lunch.
