This morning we returned to our Greek Market for breakfast only to find it closed for the Labor Day holiday weekend. So, off we walked until we came upon an open McDonald's for an egg mcmuffin. Not the best breakfast, but we do what we can. Then we had a leisurely morning at the hotel until we left for the subway to meet Daniel and Elizabeth at the farmer's market at Union Square. We visited the largest Whole Foods I've ever seen and then picked up the rest of the makings for a dinner party at their apartment. We had a lazy afternoon watching the US Open, eating delivered salads from a local pizza place, and then playing bocce ball. Daniel and Elizabeth have a one-bedroom apartment in the Peter Cooper Village complex. Together with the Styvescent Town units which are part of the same complex, there are over 11,000 apartments. Their living room overlooks basketball courts with big trees outside their windows. Elizabeth's father, Charlie and her aunt and uncle, Fran and Joe (Charlie's brother) joined us for dinner. It was a delightful evening and we learned a lot about their lives in New York. Afterwards we had a look at Fran and Joe's apartment. All of them live in the same complex, so it was an easy walk. They have a 2 bedroom unit that overlooks the East River and they've lived there for almost 49 years.
We said a sad goodbye and took a taxi back to the hotel. Unfortunately Michael left his prescription sunglasses in the cab.
Fitbit said 9,995 steps.
