A surprise night in New York

My flight from Berlin was sufficiently delayed that I missed my connection at Newark. The airline wasn’t able to get me onto a later, same-day flight, so they put me up at the Dream Downtown in the Meatpacking District and got me out first thing in the morning.

I made the most of the unexpected stay. I visited my beloved Cubbyhole, caught up with Max, had pints with Kate, and took Elika out for dinner.
