What Didn’t The Idiot See In New York City This Week?

The Idiot and his visiting-from-France daughter Sonia didn’t see 1,365,895 places during the week they just spent playing and investing in Manhattan.

But here are some things they did see and do that might be included in “The Idiot and the Odyssey IV: Walking Beyond the Mediterranean Sea.”

They took selfies with “I ❤️ NY” signs.

The most visited place for walks on The Idiot’s agenda in New York? Central Park.

Not surprised to learn that the $200 million Vessel (aka The Wastebasket) sculpture at Hudson Yards will probably be dismantled due to the high number of suicides it inspired.
