Park Avenue at 40th Street rises up to the second level of Grand Central Station. It then curves around to the east and then emerges at 46th Street, through the Helmsley building, coming down a ramp within the building. Southbound the road curves around the west side of the buildings. It’s a scene familiar toContinue reading “New York City – Day 9”

New York City – Day 8
There is a constant cacophony of car horns around Grand Central Station and our hotel. However, this morning it had fallen silent. We opened the curtains to a bright sunny day and an empty 42nd St. We could see traffic cones and runners on the street. I wondered if it was an Open Streets orContinue reading “New York City – Day 8”
New York City – Day 7
When I opened the curtains this morning I could only see a few blocks due to thick fog. Last night when I went to sleep rain was forecast for the day today, but by the time I finished breakfast the fog was clearing and there was no longer rain in the forecast. We took ourContinue reading “New York City – Day 7”
New York City – Day 6
The day dawned bright and sunny with the promise of a warm spring afternoon despite the fact that it’s still winter. I had breakfast in the room, but today Michael took the day off work, so I got to play tour guide with my newfound New York knowledge. We took the subway to The 34thContinue reading “New York City – Day 6”
New York City – Day 5
I had hoped that the weather forecast would prove to be wrong, but when I opened the curtains this morning I couldn’t see the river. It was overcast and the street was wet. I couldn’t tell from the 31st floor whether or not it was raining. I spent some time trying to motivate myself toContinue reading “New York City – Day 5”

I then walked to the bike share station and borrowed a bike to ride to the High Line. I wasContinue reading “New York City – Day 4”
New York City – Day 3
I started the day with breakfast in the room consisting of the raspberries that I bought on the street yesterday, oatmeal from the hotel shop, and tea made with the kettle and tea bags provided by the front desk. I decided that I would walk down 42nd St. past Bryant Park, to Broadway, explore TimesContinue reading “New York City – Day 3”
New York City – Day 2
Michael was extremely quiet getting up and getting ready for work this morning and I didn’t week until he closed the door to leave just before eight. I open to be graded with a beautiful, bright and sunny, busy morning, full of buildings, vehicles honking, and pedestrians hurrying. I noticed the East River and decidedContinue reading “New York City – Day 2”
New York City – Day 1
Last year IBM spun out their Managed Services operations and employees to a new company called Kyndryl. Michael works In Network Servies and was sent to the new company. This week he is visiting the two New York City locations – 280 Park Avenue tomorrow, and 1 Vanderbilt Avenue next Monday. He did the mathContinue reading “New York City – Day 1”
