Happy Thanksgiving, Scott! I spent a year in New York and loved every minute of it. We visited Connecticut once and boy oh boy, those Autumn colours were fantastic, and we didn't even get to the best ones in Vermont!
We got to know quite a few New Yorkers and they were all lovely people. At one party, we met a NY cop, who after about 5 mins talk, invited us for a day out with him and his wife, to Long Island. (loved our accent!) What a day it was. He showed us his "beat" in Brooklyn - complete with transvestites - and we ended the day at his parents place where we consumed TWO lobsters he bought - each 7 lb - cooked in pure butter
Oh, and by the way, I worked in the restaurants there and was very interested in that thread the other day.. I could (actually am) write a book about our year in NY
Great country
