The Frick Museum and Other New York Pleasures

 I spent the day before the bridal shower (see last post) exploring the Upper East Side of Manhattan.  By the time I got to the city from my son Michael's house, I was ready for lunch. Lunch can be tricky in this  upscale part of the city.  Plenty of restaurants with white tablecloths abound, but not for me traveling solo and simply. Instead I focused on finding a deli and hopefully a pastrami sandwich.  Luckily one popped up in my Google search.  The restaurant took only cash which was fine. The narrow space it housed barely accommodates `parties of three. I got a seat immediately and ordered my pastrami sandwich on rye with coleslaw and a pickle.  The sandwich fell a bit short of my idea of a New York pastrami sandwich, but the deli atmosphere made up for it. The server kindly served me five glasses of water. I get really thirsty when traveling. Below is a picture of my pastrami sandwich.
