Long Amtrak Train Trip Starting 26 August!

[Meengla]

Hard to believe that I've been on this train for 16+ already! Total to NYC is almost 17 hours. But look at leg space! And I didn't even any company next to me. 've been walking through the train between the cars for exercise and for things from the Cafe Car. Once I freshen I up at the Manhattan hotel I'll go to some place nearby to snack on.

Say Hi to Mamdani in NYC.

A view toward the Penn Station from near my hotel. It was an assault on my senses as I stepped out of the Penn Station to the 8th Avenue.
I'm toast but still out after a long hot shower.

About to leave the hotel in NYC and head out somewhere.. maybe explore the new Moynihan Hall at the Penn Station. Incredibly I managed to stay out on the streets past midnight. I thought why not see the city at night while here. It's been 22 years since in NYC. In a few hours a 19 hour train to Chicago begins. Aghhhh!

I have always loved Central Park in NYC. Such an oasis of calm in the middle of a busy city.

Sorry if duplicates.. issues

There's a convenience store right next to my hotel. After checking out I went there to get little stuff for the long train trip ahead. Saw three usual suspects milling around the counter with a pitt bull on leash. That dog was hyper. The guys kept saying "cash" and circling around. Talking to me too. I felt very uncomfortable and just left. WTH! Outside druggies and homeless. Multiple approached me for $. Ambulance picking one off in front of the Penn Station. For sanity sake I came into the station itself. Much better here! Loving it

Many Pakistanis and Indians think 60 is "old". That troll you quoted is the same mindset. I think he was "born old"! Pity such an existence. Little they know here in the West we look forward to the Golden Years... Enough energy and enough $ to enjoy life to the fullest. By the time I came back from my late night wandering in Manhattan, I was out of my house in South Carolina for over 26 hours and the only "break" I took was a shower after arriving to my Manhattan hotel.
But it's beyond the understanding of the tired old "Desi" minds: Some people are just born old! What a pity!

The amount of Aarghhhh by you in the thread is testimony that you should have done it in your younger years.

bro got pizza with pineapples on it.

Bro got a slice of Hawaiian pizza without the Canadian bacon, and not enough pineapple. Instead of pizza sauce, bbq sauce is better.

If done right, with 8oz of pineapples, on a large pizza pie.

(Use to be a pizza maker)



Pro tip:

One time I was asked by someone traveling through for a pepperoni and onion pizza. Twenty minutes later get a phone call. Was told it was the best he ever had.

I brushed garlic oil on the pizza dough before building the pizza.
