Serendipity must be on my side for once, because the place we've found to stay in New York is A) near the airport where we're landing; B) a block-and-a-half from the main East-West subway line through Queens and therefore with fast, easy access to Midtown; and, most importantly, C) within walking distance of 2213 38th Street, my father's old home, and the surrounding bustle of Ditmars Boulevard and Steinway Street that made such a vivid impression on me when I was five and six. In other words, I'll get to show Skylar the museums and tourist destinations she wants to see and show her something of her heritage without having to make a time-consuming detour. The only thing that worries me is that my nostalgia might lead me to purchase Twinkies and strawberry soda, something only my aunt permitted me.
