I don’t think I have to tell you where the source for this augmented Reality came from. It was taken in 1999 during our last visit there while residing in New Jersey.

$1,000 Dinner!
In Will Rogers’ day during the Great Depression soup kitchens were where millions got their daily meal if they got one at all. I know a thing or two about soup kitchens as I volunteered in one for over eleven years. It was a very rewarding and eye-opening time for me
I am not a “meat & potatoes” guy, but $1,000 for dinner seems pretty excessive. I guess if you are a billionaire or a CEO it probably only means an hour or so of work. The new remodeled Eleven Madison Park restaurant is now charging that and reservation are made months ahead!
Eleven Madison Park shut down last summer for a massive remodel in the wake of Daniel Humm and Will Guidara’s flagship topping the World’s 50 Best Restaurant list for the first time. The new Eleven Madison Park reopened in October with a new look and a new menu. Now, in 2018, that menu will cost a little more. According to Eater critic Ryan Sutton, the restaurant is raising its prices by $20 to $315 for its tasting menu, meaning a dinner for two with wine will cost $1,067, after tax. The restaurant cites rising labor and food costs as the reason for the price hike.

When I see these sort of things I immediately think of how many meals that would serve in my soup kitchen! I can’t help it, that kind of opulence just drives me up a wall. But since I am just a farm boy from the Midwest I probably don’t understand the satisfaction that a $1,000 meal would give me.
Surreal NYC
I am an old country boy at heart so when I visit NYC it seems like a different world to me. I have put together a few photos that make that city seem like a beehive. There is the hive which contains thousands of cells, the worker bees and of course the Queen bee.
What do you think? Can you see the connection?

For all you “off the wall” guys out there I am starting a new album at Flickr called “Surreal”. It will be composed of dream-like pictures about various topics. The first one is that to me NYC seems like a beehive. Click here to see the first offerings.
