Wrapped-up 54-hours business stint in NYC and first phase of business trip, and now landed in SFO, to begin the big road trip with the big family of 17, across SFO to LAX- Yosemite and then PDX to SEA.

Here is quick memoir from NYC stint.

I have visited Empire State Building 4 times in last 30 years, but always as a tourist. Today, I was thrilled to see my client located on multiple floors between 20th and 40th. Client gave me an elaborate tour of their swanky new facility, and access to private balcony, which gave us sprawling view of New York skyline. I also got a chance to click NYC skyline amidst windy and sunny skies, from the balcony and also various windows through glass panes too.

Selva, Sunny, and I walked several blocks to try NY Street Food at famous “THE HALAL GUYS”.  Bein a vegetarian, I tried Falafel Over Rice (priced for $7), which was pretty good. I rarely witnessed such a huge line for street food in NYC. It looked like a scene from Soup Nazi in Seinfeld, though the vendor appeared to be much friendly
