chanda's foot injury is still painful when she goes up on pointe, so we visited an orthopedist today, a man who started the harkness dance center's renowned therapy clinic. i was glad he could fit her in.
there were signed posters on the office walls: the martha graham company, the ailey company . .
and there was even a signed photo from gelsey.
he took an ex-ray and, thankfully, there isn't a fracture, but she has to decide if she's going to dance this coming weekend.
afterwards, we visited the hungarian cafe for their lunch special, which i've always missed because it's only offered twelve to four o'clock, monday through friday.
the special includes a savory bread, soup or cucumber salad, an entree and dessert:
strudel and cherry pie, all for $14.75, which is an incredible deal in manhattan. i also like it because the entree portions are smaller.
the waitress talking with a neighborhood patron . . in hungarian.
then it was time for me to experience the newly finished second avenue subway line.
we took two escalators down to an in-between level . .
and before we descended the third and last escalator we passed a portrait of our old neighbor lou, who once thought our dear jack was quite "a tank."
finally down at the bottom, waiting for the q train . .
a man offered me a seat next to chanda since he was getting off at the next stop . . chanda is reading her current literature book, harper lee's go set a watchman. she was interested in reading it after finishing to kill a mockingbird. her cousin recommended it. i haven't read it yet.
even though it was new, it was still a noisy line.
