Wow - 28 minutes of walking for the commute? That's a lot of exercise! Does it rain/snow often? We walk 15 minutes...but only when it's not wet out. We can take the métro if it's nasty out.

Requesting a post on NYC take-out. Where do you order from? Favorite meals? Cookie deliveries? I don't think I've ever had food delivered that asn't pizza. (Well, the Senegalese girl who would bring us rice and fish.)

And finally... 3am???? Y'all are nuts. We go to bed at the very reasonable (for 70-year-olds) 10pm.
