I'm a little bothered that the cabbie took you into Manhattan and to Broadway and Chambers of all places. BUT, what a gem and find Billy and Tiffany were! Pisillo's was a great suggestion. Their location in Midtown is also fantastic and delicious. You could kill someone with their sandwich sizes. This week's edition might be one of my favorites.
This is THE GREATEST adventure I think I've ever read, and your openness is real deal inspiring! And as if that wasn't enough, you offered the perfect advice for this stage of my life: "'Don't push, don't pull.' If it's meant to be, it will happen gently." (!!!!) Thank you, Anne!
If you still feel adventurous, or is it adventuress, and want to roll the dice again after your outing I suggest the Criminal Courts Building at 100 Centre Street and night court in particular. My wife and I went there on our unconventional first date (or maybe it was a second date) and we’re still married thirty-seven years later!
I loved all of this! It makes me want to do an LA adventure, although hailing a taxi might be tricky. Also, I gotta say, Billy and Tiffany look like they're in love. Maybe it's the photo, or the lighting, but I don't think so. I hear wedding bells. My one request: if they do get hitched, we need Cafe Anne coverage!
It's true Mr. Estrin they DID seem like a very happy couple. Tiffany told me she's moving to Harlem this week, where Billy lives. (Not sure if she's moving in with him?) But yes if they get hitched we need to know!
It's funny Mr. Horymski, I was thinking that what made the afternoon so fun was that every place I hit was definitely representative of a NYC that is rapidly disappearing. :(
It's great to know there's a Pisillo in Midtown too. In case I need a sandwich that doubles as a deadly weapon...
Just the best! I was right there adventuring with you and the wonderful peeps—a hitchhiker from Florida who once lived behind the Planetarium on W. 80th!
A newsletter from Cafe Anne is like a little gift that will make you smile and feel better about people and the world. It's always such a joy to read.
Awww thank you Michael that makes me so happy to hear!
Anne,
Your willingness to be open to people & vulnerable to chance made this adventure a pure delight.
You make our Monday mornings bright. Thank you!
Thank you. I do feel like I got SUPER LUCKY this time out.

Thanks Justin! Glad you enjoyed. I sure got lucky with Billy and Tiffany, right? I can't imagine how things would have gone without them.
I still have 3/4 of the sandwich in my freezer, btw.
warhead you mean
I love these adventures so much
Me too Mr. Clemenstein. Reporting this one got me totally high, haha!
I can just feel the life zinging through your veins on this adventure. Glad to be along for the ride!
Isabel CM! Thank you! I was just about to zap you a note...

Malorie, I keep a file on my phone of compliments and kind words I want to refer to later when I am feeling not-so-hot. Just added yours! Thank you!
And I'm glad the advice landed for you. I find it's applicable in so many situations. In particular how I am relating to myself!
You're so welcome! Thank YOU! :)
The perfect New York City day doesn't exi...
Haha!
We've got to team up one of these days, Mr. Stephenson...
Yes! Let’s burn some money together!

Ralph what a great idea! And what a great first date. Wow. I'd LOVE to meet a fellow who agreed this would be fun.
I’m definitely checking out the Dream House! When you are ready for your next adventure hit me and Tiffany up! We are ready to explore the world!
Hey, it's YOU! My new hero! Yes, let's GO!!!
It felt like I was along with this adventure as I read it! What a treat.

And I'd LOVE to read a SN LA adventure!
Make sure you don't end up in the middle of the 405.🤣😊
Wow. I loved every word!
So happy you enjoyed along with me, Sandra. Thank you!
Anne, this has to be one of your very best yet. I laughed my way through the entire thing.
Oh that's so wonderful to hear. Thank you Laurie!
One of the most nostalgic Cafe Annes ever. Most of this could've happened in the 20th century, a little corner of the city stuck in amber.
There's a Pisillo in midtown too! I went to theflatiron shop when it was there. Shame about Juve though.

Penny, Florida has plenty of adventuring opportunities as well, I hear.
Glad you enjoyed the post!
