NYC (2017): Day 6


← Day 5

We started the day with a visit to the brilliant coffee shop, Porto Rico, that trades different kinds of coffee from all across the world. BTW, whether or not you're an otorhinolaryngologist (yes, that's a word), it might interest you that coffee aroma does have potential antioxidant or stress relaxation activities on the brain. [Rat brain, just for the record, but I empathize.]


Next, we headed over towards East Village ..


.. to get me inked. ^_^ Thanks to the folks at Whatever Tattoo, for making my first tattooing experience nice and fun!

       

Yes, I know it's difficult to make out, so it's a red poppy flower on my ankle.
No, it does not have any deep significance, I did not get it with reference to Memorial day or opium, I just find poppies pretty. 


Some more clicks from this area with its lovely art (the second picture below is edited):

  

And I couldn't help but appreciate the compelling advertising for Amsterdam Billiards:


Here's the lovely Grace Church that I wish I could have visited, and a cheeky sign right across the street! :D

  

The night ended with another delightful gossip session with my beautiful cousins and my Mom. So nice to have family in all parts of the world!
