Wow...the weekend flew by. We managed to grab brunch at Noho Star on Saturday then headed up to Strand books. This was a mistake. I forgot that on the weekend, Strand books is the last place for someone who doesn't like crowds in small confined spaces. We quickly fled and walked over to check out a pet store on Greenwich, then circled back to a not-so-crowded B&N. Sunday was reserved for running donations over to Housing Works, checking out the contents of my former apartment (which are in a storage locker in Long Island City) and running coins through a Coinstar machine at the local Pathmark.
