Ready to start the summer a bit early. So let’s hit the shared grills on the roof deck. The hitch – turns out the building doesn’t turn the gas on for the grills until April. Would have been nice to have known that before I got up there ready…

Struggled with the 9:30 Soul Survivor class up in Union Square, but got through it and back out into our chilly city. Hungry and ready for a stroll through the greenmarket. No real plan, we’ll see what looks good. Half a skim latte later, here’s the haul:
