Sunday November 5: NY marathon, Columbia & the rooftop (again :-)

37.000 participants... presuming 90% of participants finished the NY marathon, the total distance run should be around 1.4 million kilometers :-)

The NY marathon is definitely an impressive event. Given that we didn't know exactly when the bulk of the people started the marathon, Bart & I decided to take the subway to 103rd street around noon. We arrived just in time at Central Park to see (presumably) the first runners entering the Park. We crossed the Park along the Reservoir (see picture) and went to Columbia university. The autumn colours of the park are magnificent...

Yesterday evening, we met with Wouter & Yannick at the Flatiron building (see picture, taken on Saturday with Bart & Liesbeth) to go to our favourite rooftop bar (actually it's the only one I know) on Fifth Avenue. The view was maginificent (the terrace was open), the price of the drinks definitely includes a skyline premium...
