Monday morning dawned bright, sunny and cold. I put on everything in my suitcase and hit the streets with my final to-do list.

Bryant Park is right outside the library. Tent-shops and an ice skating rink are set up for the month of December. At the food tents I bought a ham and cheese crepe and a peanut butter cookie to die for. The cookie was two thin crispy cookies with organic peanut butter spread in the middle.
