Fizzy and Milky Day

On one of the hotter, cloudy, and very humid days I decided to to see if anything new was happening at the High Line. Last time they were giving out free lemonade this week it was a new Coke product. First though it is picture time.

Big apple the same people did cows, horses, pigs, and Statues of Liberty.

Love that Spice Market sign. Not an actual spice market just a restaurant.

Nice hog. You couldn't pay me to ride one but still nice.


Above street level the toughness is washed away with a carpet of balcony flowers.

They put up the lights and opened a small food cart on the High Line.

Looking out to the triangle and a great NYC traffic scene.

I have no idea what they are but it's boxes made from leaves.
I'll call it the leaf-box plant.

I got two of these fizzy little Vio "vibrancy drinks". They are basically egg creams with a twist. The difference is instead of seltzer Vio uses sparkling water, and instead of whole milk Vio uses skim milk and cream. That added kick comes from fruity flavors. I did like these and when served cold they are very refreshing.

The bottle is aluminum which is cool. Plus the drink itself is fortified with vitamin C and calcium. Looking through the internets I'm amazed at all the negatives reactions. "Milk and Coke? Yuck!" is the usual comment but this is not the truth. Has everyone forgotten egg creams(no eggs or cream either) everyone who tastes them loves them.

Since there are few good bottled egg cream maker hopefully this product will last and Coke will expand the line to include traditional egg creams. .
