TranscriptNew York: last full day. Toast & coffee in room at 9.30. Walked to South gate (7th Ave at 31st) & picked up forgotten foulard robe. Cab to Hugs’s.
Lunch at nearby Italian restaurant, then went to movie (all-black): “To Sleep with Anger.” Went by Strand Book Store after show; got Hugs a photography book, no Ploesti for me to send Ken Burns. Cab back to Hudson St, let Hugs out (with promise to bring my robe uptown) & returned to Algonquin. He joined me at 8.30 — no robe. We ate dinner at a 50th St Chinese Restaurant, “Ho Ho.” Found food inedible again. Hugs spent night in other twin bed. |
