I don't like titling: Tuesday

I didn't really know what to do with myself today. The forecast said the temperatures were supposed to be in the 90s, so I wanted to be mostly inside. First I thought I'd go to the Merchant's House Museum (a tour of an old house!), but they're only open Thursday-Saturday (random...). I eventually decided to go back to the Lower East Side. When I walked around there yesterday there were tons of restaurants that looked good, so I wandered around until I found something tempting. I saw Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop on a corner and went in.

I must be on a hummus kick because I chose their "Humongous Hummus" sandwich. It had tons of hummus with roasted red peppers, shredded carrots, lettuce, and tomato on whole grain bread. The shop was small and crowded, so I took my sandwich to Sara D. Roosevelt Park. I sat on a bench in the playground area and watched the kids play in the fountain.

I can't get over the little girl in the blue shirt! She was so cute! The whole half hour or so I was eating lunch she kept filling up her little plastic cup...

and dumping it somewhere else. She mostly dumped it on that pile of leaves you can see in the bottom right corner of the frame.

Eventually, her mom gave her a big bucket and she filled that too!

This kid was playing tag with some other kids and seemed to love sticking his face directly in the spray.

Then I went to The Doughnut Plant (as seen on the Food Network's Throwdown With Bobby Flay). I had this delicious blackberry jam filled doughnut! I also got a refreshing glass of blueberry lemonade. After my tasty dessert I went to the New York Library for the Performing Arts to look around. I need to get my library card soon!

Then I headed home, took a short break, and went to the laundromat. The wash was $4.25 for one load! Yikes! I need more clothes! It was a fun experience. There were tons of families and lots of little kids ran around playing tag. On my way home I stopped at a market and got some groceries for black bean burgers. I also found corn on the cob and pineapple, which completed a delicious meal!

I just came inside from the back roof that the kitchen window leads to. Gilly and I watched the sunset over Manhattan. The weather was perfect and the view was beautiful. I'm going to try for a photo op tomorrow.
