Hello Deli!

Check another item off my life to-do list (kinda) and all it cost me was $2. Well, actually $4 if you count getting back to the hotel.  The $4 investment in the MTA MetroCard paid off in spades. Catch the #2 Uptown train at the Fulton Street station and ride until 42nd Street. Nothing could have prepared me for what the surface would hold as I emerged from the subterranean tunnel. Advertising Shangri-La. Make a left and head down 7th Avenue through Times Square. This is a sight worth seeing at least once in your life. Nothing I could write would do it justice. I'm not going to compare this with a beautiful mountain range or a vineyard in Northern California. Times Square is the ultimate testament to mankind's desire to sell stuff. Seeing it on television doesn't come close to giving you the proper perspective. It somehow seemed narrower and taller than I imagined, as if television squishes it somehow. Back to the mission, continue heading North and stay on Broadway when it splits from 7th Avenue. If you have any problems, call your wife and have her navigate for you. Continue walking to 53rd Street. When you see the Ed Sullivan Theater, make a left and there it is, Rupert Jee's Hello Deli.  The moment you've been waiting for and, it's closed. Damn you Rupert Jee, you'll pay for this. All I wanted was a sandwich and maybe a shirt. Oh well, as long as your there you might as well check out Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center, and maybe the rest of Broadway. Or, you can peer in the window longingly and dream about that sandwich.
