At 2pm mom and I made our way to La Grenouille. This is the fancy pants French restaurant we went to last year. The flowers, food and toilet paper were all still fantastic. We were back to the hotel by 4pm, so we decided to hit up Pier 94 for two hours before it closed. I was impressed that we managed to see pretty much all the booths on the Pier in that two hour window.

Next on the agenda was attending the US Open of Track & Field at Madison Square Garden. I’d never been to a big time indoor track meet, so I thought checking this out could be interesting. After dinner at the Stage Door Deli, which wasn’t very good, we made our way to the meet.

Overall I left the meet feeling a bit disappointed. My sadness was brought on by the fact that in a city of 8 million people only 5,000 seemed to show up to a meet with some of the world’s best athletes. It’s a scary proposition to see a sport I love hurting for fans in our country’s biggest city. Hopefully USATF, which is currently restructuring itself a bit, will be able to reverse the current decline of the sport.
Until tomorrow,
Katy
