Ok, it rained and it was cold. I'm guessing that the mid block connection will forever remain unsketchable, at least in a comfortable way. After a couple of hours we decided to sketch at the Hilton Hotel lobby; warm and dry.

Greater New York Bridge Association's Regional Finals...yes a room that quickly filled up with bridge players. We got there early enough to sketch and stayed until it was apparent that we were going to get kicked out.
