Union Square Food Foray
City Bakery Swag

The lovely Bakerina informed me that quark might be had at the Union Square Greenmarket, so I met up with Bunni and her for noshies and shopping. Had lunch at Stand, where the veggie burger was nice and full of veg, but fell apart rather infuriatingly during the eating process (I would like to note that I was certainly not fressing in any appreciable way), however you all must try the rosemary-ade. I wish I could bottle the stuff and bring it home.
Several hours of crowds rather did my head in, and even though I parted with the ladies around 17:00 I still had to deal with the full-beyond capacity of the trains of NJ Transit. Every engineer Saturday apologized for the lack of the usual number of cars per train that necessitated standing passengers in the aisles and vestibules. I swear, it was nearly like Mumbai, except riding atop the train would be even more dangerous here and other passengers are most certainly not likely to help you onto the already-crowded train. May play the hermit for a few days to clear my head and get back to feeling sociable again.
