greg and i were walking east on 17th street when we ran into the start of the dance parade at sixth avenue.
everyone was having a grand time . .
we had to walk up to 18th street to cross the avenue . .
some of the costumes were incredibly elaborate.
we stopped at lysee cafe on 21st street (marisa and i had stopped by a few weeks ago, but they were closed).
greg hesitated walking in at first . . it seemed a little too fancy!
perhaps it was . .
such amazing cakes!
i was stopping by for the buckwheat cookie . . and i was not disappointed.
we continued on our way to the whole foods at 29th street and madison avenue . . and ran into another parade!
this was the 40th turkish american festival parade.
so many food tables! unfortunately, we had already eaten enchiladas at rosa mexicana so we didn't stop. but it was an exciting walk with very intense dancing and very loud music . . (and we made it to whole foods where i was looking for some vitamins that my local health food store didn't have, and which whole foods didn't have either. i think they have been discontinued).
