Sheila's travels

New York New York!

26th May 2006
Rosie and I arrived at Newark and had fun trying to organise transport to the Upper West Side ... eventually got picked up by the Supershuttle and almost immediately found ourselves stuck in Memorial Day weekend traffic! Following a long hot ride (and a very aggressive argument between the driver and a Hilton customer) we got to the Hotel Belleclaire 15 minutes after we should have met Melinda (Jenkins, an AMIA colleague) at Dizzy's ... A quick change and a taxi ride later and we were there - just before Bill Clinton arrived! At Dizzy's we found Melinda, a witty barman who knew how to make a martini, a fantastic view, great food, and Bill Charlap playing. A great start to our long weekend.
