meals (12.3)

Early morning to catch the train to New York.


Left the house at 5:30. Elizabeth dropped me off at the VRE at 6:00. Arrived at Union Station at about 7:30. 


bacon, egg, and cheese bagel
hash browns
coke


at the McDonald's at Union Station. Possibly the only McD in the world that doesn't have unsweetened tea. I love the Union Station store. They treat everyone like stir-fried shit. Just a warm, welcoming, "fuck you" feeling about the store. 


On the up side, the food was actually hot. 


Caught the train at 8:05. I got a business class ticket this time. A little extra space was nice. 


utz party mix
bottled water


for a snack on train.


Arrived at the Union Station at about 11:30. Caught a cab at 11:45 and got to the hotel (Sheraton Laguardia East, there is no Sheraton Laguardia West) in Chinatown in Queens at about 12:20.


Pete was checking in ahead of me. So we arranged our meetings for the afternoon. Client was running late so my meeting wouldn't start until 2:30 or 3:00.


Pete didn't want to go to lunch so I went to the next block where there were 6 or 7 Chinese restaurants in a row. They all had Chinese writing in the windows except for the phrase "We don't take credit cards. Cash only." The first few were so crowded that I didn't see a seat. I went into the fifth restaurant.


mixed seafood on pan fried noodles
iced tea
hot tea


Most boring Chinese meal I ever had. 


Meeting finally started at 3:00. Met from 3:00 to 4:45. 


Left for dinner at 5:15. Met at Armando's in Queens at about 5:45.


capellini pomodoro as an appetizer (excellent)
eggplant parmesan (excellent)
iced tea
Moretti beer (1)


a little Italian cheese cake, a little chocolate cake, a little tiramisu for dessert
capacino


got back to the hotel around 9:30. Asleep by 10:00
