My favorite neighborhood in NYC

If there was one band I wish I could have seen live, it's THE CLASH. LONDON CALLING is one of my favorite albums. The East Village is one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC as well. I love taking the L train to 1st Ave. and walking south. Luzzo's (in the picture) is probably my favorite pizza after L & B Spumoni Gardens.

The Empire Builder takes me to my 49th State......see you soon, Alaska!

I love trains! This was one of the many stops on the Empire Builder which goes from Seattle to Chicago and takes almost 48 Hours (that's a CLASH song). Although I enjoyed the scenery, the room was very uncomfortable and the food was mediocre at best. The idea that I could do nothing but relax for 2 days was good and I got to see North Dakota! I don't think I'll be doing such a long train trip again any time soon though.
