Sharing 16 hours….Union Square to Chelsea.

It ended up being apples.
Realizing that she didn’t eat since 6:30 am, she and her friend ambled over to The Coffee Shop – a NYC, Union Square staple. It was closed. dievca was just there at the end of September. The place was hopping at 3 pm~
Devastated that another NYC landmark was dropping out due to rents, they wandered into Flat Fix, a taco shop owned by the same people. The Manager confirmed the heavy rent increases (plus higher minimum wage and food/beverage costs) forced The Coffee Shop to close. Rumors about a bank and two chain restaurants taking over the space. FlatFix is staying.
dievca left her friend at the subway station and started to meander home. Seeing silly things in the City:
Yes, that water-resistant cashmere Herno coat is something dievca would love to buy for Master…..the hefty price tag (about 2K) will limit that purchase. It was GORGEOUS….
The next morning, with the time change she got up early and walked the High Line to meet a friend for breakfast and saw a bit of Fall Colors. Supposedly the colors in Upstate New York are not very good because of the super hot and wet Summer.
On the way home, she investigated two options for her “money from the sidewalk” homeless donation jar.
- Church of the Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen (dievca sees that it is heavily in use)
- Antonio Olivieri Drop-In Center (across from Penn Station – also heavily in use)
OK, the money collected off the street may only be $50, but that is $50 put towards helping someone eat or shower.
dievca hopes you have enjoyed your “Fall Back” time change as much as she enjoyed her 16 hours. XO

Enjoyed it doubly, now that I was out and about with you (albeit via post!) I enjoyed your money from the street pic— do you dance with strangers for cash? do you inform people of wardrobe improvements for a small fee? I know- you are a hand model for all the little shops, you peruse, take a snap holding the wares and then they post it to social media???? hmmm??? where does it come from?

XO – Ret you made me laugh! I would love to put a little wiggle in my giggle for some money on the street, but the average bear might be very, very frightened. The jar contains money I have literally picked up on sidewalks, stairs, in the street and collected in the jar. The jar is full, so it goes to a soup kitchen or shelter.
I’m not too sure people would pay me for my wardrobe advice, but I like to share what I see on the street. Since the blog is my only social media venue….you all are the proud recipients of my NYC wandering. Bisous!

It was just one of those very fun days. I didn’t mention that in the Men’s store they were making cocktails for the patrons, so I had a couple of alcoholic Cider drinks and was even happier.
