The wonders of the iPhone came in handy this evening. All week we have been using the Google map feature to fin our way around NYC. Tonight Nicole was in the mood for a cheese-steak.

Have you seen the comercial on TV for the iPhone, the one where they are watching Pirates of the Caribian and the user become hungry for calamari? The user then logs into Google Maps and searches for the nearest restaurant serving calamari. Same thing for use, just looking for cheese-steaks. We find one near NYU & UnionSquare. It was called The CheeseSteak Factory, no they did not have CheeseCake. What a meal though! Holy crap!

After the meal we walked a block down to Union Square and saw all the jobless students protesting for this and against that, mostly W. Bush bashing. One such group had spent a lot time erecting a banner two car lengths long. It said “Bush was the mastermind behind 9/11″. They took shifts fumbling trough the use of a megaphone. Fun part was, the sign was facing the park, facing the others taking part in the rally. Again, we are in Union Square, Broadway and just South of Midtown…turning the sign around would have made much more sense. Thousands of people walk, ride and drive by that corner everyday. Makes me believe they weren’t really concerned about getting their message out, maybe just bored and needed something to grip about. Not very smart is you ask me.
