Six months later we were married and never looked back.

Last night that Lady and I had dinner at Wo Hop in Chinatown (Sum Hey has long since closed). We crossed Canal St. and had Cappuccino and pastry at La Bella Ferrara in Little Italy.

In 71 days we will leave NY to settle into our home in Hadley. NYC has been a large part of our history together.

Last night was our farewell dinner to NYC.
Oh Mel, a lovely story......I too will miss NYC.....very fond memories of Wo Hop too........was it really 36 years ago that it was Sum Hey? Time certainly flies.
