NYC and the Alma Mater

These pictures are from last weekend, Matt and I had a 3-day so we visited our old stomping ground for the first time in 6+ years.... Our first stop was Garrison train station, where we caught the view of WP from across the river while waiting for our train to the city. Matt said even the sight of the academic buildings made him sick to his stomach - so we thumbed our nose at all those poor cadets by throwing down Coronas.
That night we hit the city and did the typical dinner & show, and yes, it was glorious. Below is an excellent picture of the bike-taxi-guy's back. Is this a new thing by the way? I don't remember ever seeing the bike taxis in the city before but they're all over the place now...

I need more picture of the bike-taxi guy. Is it like a rickshaw? Did he pedal with both of you on the back? Impressive!

Hey Joel!

I wish we took more pictures - they were almost exactly like the rickshaws in China, except a total RIPOFF. Note to self, agree on the price with the not-so-good-enrish peddler beforehand....
