We enjoy a pleasant (and romantic) stroll back from The Intrepid through a slow afternoon rain...........

A bit of Bohemia on the old West Side..........................

The snub nose of the glass paned Hearst Tower lets us know that we are almost home..........

To our "home away from home"--the DaVinci Hotel. We have stayed here for four visits now and I can't imagine being seduced away by any fancier place................

The DaVinci is small, homey, friendly an has one of the best attractions in New York, as far as we are concerned.............................

Joe G's Restaurant in the basement of the hotel!! This is our favorite Italian Restaurant in the entire world! (Italy, San Francisco, Belmont, Little Italy, Bensonhurst etc.,included).............

The food is absolutely wonderful!....................................

And as hotel guests, they will prepare anything you desire in the way of Italian food!!

So, tonight we stayed home, had an Italian feast, enjoyed a jazz combo with a Diana Krall sound-alike singer and...............A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!
