It was in the upper 60s in New York City today, and I needed a cereal I couldn’t find in my neighborhood grocery store. There are two supermarkets further downtown where I might find it, so I decided to combine that search with my daily walk.
Took #1
train to 79th Street and walked down Broadway to Fairway, at 74th. They had
what I wanted, and I was through the self-service lane quickly. My walk
continued down Broadway to 64th Street, where I stopped at a little park opposite
Lincoln Center, as my old orthotics no longer cushion my feet as well as they
used to. I felt like a tourist, taking out my notebook to write what I’d just
done. A man nearby was reading his phone. A young woman with a large orange dog
(breed unknown) sat opposite, soon joined by a young man. At another corner of
the park, five men in their older years chatted in a circle. An older woman
stopped to sit down and look at her

I’m participating in the 15th annual Slice of Life Challenge over at Two Writing Teachers. This is day 6 of the 31-day challenge. It’s not too late to make space for daily writing in a community that is encouraging, enthusiastic, and eager to read what you have to slice about. Join in!
