I haven't been back to New York in some 20 years but the fun is everywhere,
if you have New York eyes. Try the lower east side for music (fri &sat
nights). Broadway plays, food every place, every kind- China Town, Time
Square- (Washington square park on Saturday for free live music al a
fresca) Central Park (day time only, unless your a masochist).
Go to Wall street at "rush hour"; you wont believe the mass of humanity
that moves down the side walks looking for busses, taxi's, subway entrances.
Don't forget to take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. At night it's very
peacful.
Relevance to Dynamic Quality? Everything is relevant!
Dynamic Quality is not fun. That's backwards. Fun is Dynamic Quality. If
your having fun, your in it. (fun is the secret of life!).
By the way. My name is Robert too. I've read the book (and am reading it)
