Rode my bike around the island

What a Beautiful day. Put some air in my bicycle tires and rode down the West side along the East River. Weaving through people barely clipping them. I stopped at the South Street Seaport. A crowd was gathering and Michael Jackson's Beat It was playing but I couldn't see what everyone was looking at. I walked my bike closer and still didn't see anything. Then I saw the act between people's arms and waist. It was a little person dressed up like Billie Jean-era MJ doing all of his moves. So bizarre but his little limbs were popping, locking and moon walking all over the place. I continued riding around the tip of Manhattan and up the Hudson River. A nice stretch of road to pick up some unbroken speed. Veered off at 14th and rode up 10th Avenue. Exploring this quiet neighborhood is so much easier on a bike. Simone called to meet up for dinner. Dropped off the bike and met them at Momofuku. The pork ramen soup was so delicious but this was my first meal of the day and I was quickly stuffed. It's a small place that's always crowded but it's so good. Sim thought Justin Timberlake was eatin pork buns next to us.
