News Flash: you are on 14th Street
Don't let the news fool you though, per NYC standards most of the crowd were lookers-on like me taking pictures. Really only about 25 little hippies occupying.

Weekend in Food
Not too many actual adventures this week, but we did manage to whip up a few kitchen concoctions I thought I'd share.
First, like any good Italian-American, Barry considers corned beef & cabbage mandatory on St. Patrick's Day. Since we already had dinner plans, we cooked it overnight and had it for breakfast on Saturday morning. As the saying goes, "Dinner for Breakfast"...wait, what? That's not right...
Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Hashbrowns does a body good...
For dinner, there were a few mandatory qualifications: far, far away from any St. Patrick's Day pub crawl, at least one TV for March Madness, and delicious food. We settled on an East Village hangout called Black Iron Burger. I had the Iron Horse burger with horseradish cheddar and sauteed onions, Barry had something wrapped in bacon (gasp!).
Sunday morning was my turn for breakfast. Lately when we've gone back to Atlanta we'll hit up The Original Pancake House where my favorite is the Dutch Baby pancake. I've been wanting one for several weeks now, so I decided to finally make it happen. I found several recipes online, but this one seemed to be the easiest...and also something I could not mess up.
Simple Ingredients! Hopefully foolproof... Not pictured: powdered sugar.
After a quick 20 minutes in the oven, Viola!!
Success!!
It was absolutely delicious! I recommend only 20 minutes in the oven and at a lower degree than suggested. I found that it was good and brown by then. I even made a lemon glaze with lemon juice & powdered sugar, just like the do at the Original Pancake House.

The Madness of March
We made our annual trip to the Big East Men's basketball tournament this past weekend. The final game was a bit of a surprise matchup (surprise, as in 'what the heck are they playing in this game for?). In the end, Louisville beat Cincinnati and Barry I whet our appetite for March Madness.

When the Crazies come out
Today was 65+ degrees in New York. As sure as Punxsutawney Phil not seeing his shadow, when the crazies come out you know Spring is coming. I saw folks wearing pea coats with short shorts and flip flops on my way to work. I'm so starved for Vitamin D that I almost thought their outfits made sense.
At any rate, I stopped in Madison Square Park during lunch today and thought I'd share my view.

Just a little New York scenery
I took a midday walk on the Highline today...thought I'd share some of the pretty photos.
The view east across 17th St. I used to live next to the white building with the round windows.
The view south. Our old CSTV building is to the right, and the figure in the middle off in the distance is the Statue of Liberty (it looked much cooler than my camera could actually capture.
10th Avenue
Empire State Building
