Our final day in New York was largely uneventful. Still very cold, a walk
down Broadway yielded me some noise cancelling headphones to allow me to keep up
with Elaine in avoiding airplane noise.The street video monitors in time square are amazing, it has to
where the video monitor designers test the latest leading edge 100m x 100m displays
and the technology presumably flows down to the consumer level from here.
But it is hard to top the previous 2 days events, so mostly hung around
the hotel and headed to JFK airport with 8 hours to wait for our 1:15
AM flight to Bogota.

Like many other things in New York construction or
renovation is ongoing at JFK. After several blind leads we finally
found a few shops and what might pass for a strip mall food area. As the busiest international entry point to the US one might expect JFK Terminal 4 to be a flagship terminal. Like the rest of New York it peaked sometime in the past, opened in 1957, it is well past its best before date. We went to the Palm for a beer and a
bite. I ordered the reasonably priced steak sandwich from the menu, hey
only $17. I was served a Philly cheese steak sandwich. A big
difference.... So I mentions it to the waiter and he tells me that he
knows its a Philly Cheese but management insisted that the menu say
steak sandwich. I remind him that a steak sandwich is a well known and
recognized item all over North America and cannot be confused with a
Philly Cheese. He doesn't disagree, later he discounts the meal to $8, I notice that the receipt even says Philly cheese... I take the
time later to give feedback to Palm customer care that they may be perpetrating an intentional
bait and switch and could possibly be considered fraud by some, maybe Philadelphia lawyers? ... No
response yet....No doubt, never will be....
