machiavelli and bleecker park's linden trees

korrina, camille and i took the train to columbus and 85th street. janet's friend has been putting together a restaurant since her old one closed in the west village a year of so ago. (it was called la focaccia, and can actually be seen as a setting in a few films that take place in manhattan). the new one she is opening is using several canvases painted especially for a restaurant venture she was supposed to do before la focaccia. the canvases are beautiful and depict medieval looking soldiers and horses. the name is to be machiavelli. we may do some work part-time in the morning for breakfast.

chanda and i ran several errands this afternoon to the post office and library. along our way we passed the linden trees in bleecker park. four of them went down in the storm. they were quite old, and i suppose they're more vulnerable to the high winds without any younger, more supple vegetation around them.

we got back a little late from our errands, so had a simple maranara sauce and zucchini sauteed with garlic and basil for dinner.
