Another lazy morning as we still hadn't heard back from a couple of real estate agents, although I didn't aggressively pursue it as we both had pretty much decided that New York is a great place to visit but not so much to live full time. Just too much of a change from the wide open spaces of Orange County or Denver. So we decided to just do more of the same, relax and hang out and explore more of the Upper East Side. First stop was an early lunch back downstairs at Jean-Georges.
We both slept in this morning as our bodies were still on Pacific time. After room service and a few calls to real estate agents to set up appointments for later in the day or tomorrow, we headed out for some exercise and exploration... down Madison to 69th Street and then over to 1st Avenue for lunch. Daycare central, surprisingly with no locks on any scooters or strollers.
When we visited a few weeks ago, we had pretty much narrowed our search to the Upper East Side... and one apartment in particular, on East 77th. So we decided to stay at nearby The Mark, spend time in the neighborhood and see how we felt three days later. While Mrs. SFO777 was getting ready for the day, I headed out for some fresh air. Up Madison...
... then west on 78th...
With nothing on the schedule until an 11am appointment, we slept and even passed on breakfast since we were still full from yesterday's food orgy.
With three specific appointments today, we decided to Uber or taxi our way around the city. First stop was Sutton Place and a "pre-war" building with a manually operated elevator. Whoa.
Very nice, but the owner really wanted to rent the place furnished.
With the sheers open, a beautiful morning in the city.
