Touring NY

On Saturday, I accompanied Eddie, to scope out prospects for both CBS and Leonard General Construction, on what was supposed to be a real estate tour.  However, upon arrival to the real estate office in Queens, our agent apologetically informed us she had gotten the date wrong.  

So to make up for her error, she took us to a little Korean restaurant down the street for coffee and pastries.  After discussing our real estate prospects we moved on to other subjects.  

Here is our agent ordering our goodies.  This restaurant is located in Queens on Main Street and 70th.  

Below is the picture of our vehicle for Friday and Saturday.  It is the Quest which was fitting considering our tasks for the two days.  We needed to go up to Manhattan to get a couple of things appraised at the auction house, then back down to Brooklyn to finish a client's kitchen, and then up to Queens to meet with Eddie's cousin Mike who owns a number of real estate properties and a bar.  I was Eddie's driver for the two days, an easy way to make money despite the complexities of NY traffic.  We were also treated to a game of pool at Mike's bar in north Brooklyn.  

I was sitting at the bar with a complimentary beer when Eddie came over and handed me the pool stick, telling me I had to play, and whispering that he had played the guy for money years ago and that he had never paid.  He didn't want him to recall the incident.  I tried to let the guy win but he was just that bad.  

Meet Leonard General Construction's new mascot, Kharma.  Eddie got this kitchen job via Kharma.  Kharma lives down the street from me and is learning how not to chew up everything in his path, maturing from a puppy.
