Eric and PJ got into New York at midnight Wednesday night to visit for a week. They took a taxi to my place from the airport, and then we went straight to Angel's Share for a drink.

After we sat down I got a call from Eric's cell phone. Eric realized he didn't have his phone on him. Turns out Eric dropped it in the cab on the ride over. The taxi driver called the last number Eric had called (me) and then he actually *delivered* the phone to us at the bar. When he got to the corner and called us Eric and I walked down to get the phone. We were surprised to see he actually had passengers in the back :)

I don't buy the stereotype that people in New York are mean or rude. While I generally do think taxi drivers suck, this guy was awesome and it was a great start to their week in New York City.
