TOP O THE WORLD MA






Well TOP OF THE ROCK anyway...
After a full day of busy-ness and auditions. And after I went to the Diamond district in a lower level Watch Repair shop in a "mall" of sellers..I got batteries in my dead wristwatches. That costs me $5 a battery and service..SO for $10 I got 2 watches fixed as opposed to the $10 a Battery in most local neighborhood shops...and NO ATTITUDE.
I then hoofed it to Rockerfeller Center. The thunderous rainy morning had given way to a Miraculously Gorgeous afternoon. The air itself seemed cleaned and crisp and bright to breathe.
I took lots of pictures and then decided to go to the TOP of the ROCK.
That was EXTRAORDINARY adn SUPERB. Made me fall in love with NY all over again.
ALL the hideous building and cramping of real estate (likened only to the squeezing of the structures in TOKYO-and I have been there) was far below and looked insignificant and a mere dot on teh magnificince of this grand city.
The Central Park North View from all 3 levels of that Rooftop was amazing. I actually wept from the beauty of it.
It cost $18 for Seniors and $20 for others..however they GIVE you a $2.00 disount anyway.
Once you go up to the 67th Floor youa re on your own and can stay until the place closes AT MIDNIGHT!!
There is no food only water up there.
The day was clear as one could imagine adn you could see far into Long Island with ease.
It is an adventure I highly recommend and it is cheaper than the Empire State Observation Roof. ALthough that is my next trip upward.
Enjoy this glorious weather!!
hen it rains..go see BRIDESHEAD REVISITED and /or DARK KNIGHT..I have to see MAMMA MIA but all I know who saw it say it is a real FEEL GOOD film.
I would see Streep in anything.
Anyway..
Happy August
