Liveblogging Lunch: Final lunch thoughts.
Lunch at Spring on the Upper West Side was serviceable, pleasant, if slightly uninspired. Sitting outside, though, was a treat on this gorgeous day; it was also a treat to spend time with Lisa and Sam. And to blog the whole experience on my phone. Thanks, technology!
Liveblogging Lunch
I’m at lunch with Lisa and Sam and I’m going to Liveblog it. Get ready!
Blogging by phone, Take 2.
This was an oatmeal cookie from Bouchon Bakery that I ate yesterday in the park with my friend Patty. I am on a bus now blogging about that fact. Are you impressed???
