NYC events

This week I was slow at posting my weekly entry, as a lot went on in a short amount of time. Scariest was being at the Hyatt Grand Central when the steam pipe explosion happened, and being evacuated out of the building not knowing what was going on. People were running, we could see what we thought was smoke rising up to the tops of tallest buildings, it was a run-for-your-life moment and pretty terrifying. We ran about 10 blocks north or so until we slowed down, and no one on the streets knew anything yet in terms of what was going on. We began walking east with an aim to get home to Brooklyn, and ended up walking over an hour before we could get a subway home. Along the way we eventually learned what had happened. Important advice for a run-for-your-life situation: do not wear heels!
