With a long layover in JFK, we decided to head into Manhattan and get lunch. We debated what kind of food to get since we would be leaving for Japan in a few hours, and this would be our last "American" meal. So of course we decided on French food.
Many years ago when I worked in NY, a friend stumbled on La Bonne Soup. It is a cozy French Bistro located on 55th street between 5th and 6th. They have wonderful French Onion Soup. But, their Croque-monsieur is even better.
After our lunch, we got back to JFK and got on our 13 hour flight. We left Monday evening and arrived in Tokyo on Tuesday (a day later). Walking out of the airport, we were hit with a wall of heat and humidity that made it difficult to breathe. And that was at 11pm at night. It got worse the next day.
With a heat index of 104 degrees, the whole "it will be great to walk everywhere and take public transportation" idea seemed a little crazy. But, the temperature is supposed to go down next week. And at least we have air conditioning in our apartment.
We did visit the American School yesterday and walked past this nice temple with a perfectly manicured tree. I love the attention to detail.
