The House of Essex

Did I ever fess up about where I actually lived during the month of May? Well, here it is -- a photo taken from that temporary front yard otherwise known as Central Park.

If you ever get the chance to live in the Jumeirah Essex House - particularly for free - I suggest you take it. Although the joke was that I couldn't afford to live there - or in that neighborhood - for free. However, there is a great little pizza place out the back entrance on 58th St. that provided me with some reasonably priced and decent tasting meals.
