Room with a view

View of the Empire State Building from the Williamsburg Bridge.

Had brunch with Joseph in Williamsburg and made an unsuccessful attempt to go to the Pool Party at McCarren Pool. But all was not lost: we walked back to Manhattan across the bridge and went out in my neighborhood. Saw part of a punk concert commemorating the anniversary of the Tompkins Square Park riot.

Spotted around town:
- Andrew from Top Chef on 2nd Avenue
- Dude from the Mac commercials hailing a cab on Avenue A
- Artist Chuck Close eating dinner outside at Alexandra on Hudson Street
