New York Trip~Day 2

This Fire Station lost the most heroes in 9/11.

Cold & wind blown, but loving every minute of it...on top of the GreyLine

Double Decker City Bus Tour.

Recognize this from the movie, "The Night at the Museum"?

It is the Museum of Natural History! So cool!

Nuts-4-Nuts!

They have these carts of yummy hot nuts-almonds, cashews or peanuts,

all over New York...this one was just outside Central Park.

The Metropolitan Art Museum

Rockefeller Center...

Ice skating, anyone?

A stroll thru Central Park

Aahh...So romantic! (Central Park)

Dinner at Angelo's on Mulberry Street.
This Restaurant opened in 1907! I could eat my way thru NY.

A View of Little Italy


On our 2nd day in New York, we covered some major ground by tour bus and guided by our personal guide, Jeffrey. Lindy had to work...she works for Tori Burch. But, we all enjoyed a great meal together that evening. Seriously, a person could eat their way thru NYC and not gain a pound because you walk so much! We found the people to be very friendly and interesting.
Life is so different than that of CA.
Some sights we saw were: The Met & Museum of Natural History, Central Park (which is very vast!), Grand Central Station, United Nations, Trump Towers, Little Italy, Harlem, The Apollo Theatre, Rockefeller Center, Chinatown, Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center, Manhattan Bridge and so much more!
Crazy Fact~There are only 12 gas stations in NYC!

New York Trip~Day 1

Our Hotel

The View of "Ground Zero", from our hotel window.

Our 1st of many subway rides!

Top of the very windy Empire State Building.

We stoppped for an afternoon treat at Crumbs BakeShop!

Times Square...the only part of New York I didn't care for!
(too tourist-y)

We had our first meal with Lindy & Jeffrey at this quaint little Italy restaurant in their neighborhood-Greenwich Village. Our waiter, Umberto, had a super thick Italian accent...he'd only been in the US for 2 years. The food was delicious!

Bakeries everywhere!!!! We had dessert (canolli and coffee) from Rocco's~we passed it walking from dinner to Lindy's apartment, how could we not go in?


Jason and I had the incredible opportunity to visit New York City for 5 days! In April, Jason is officiating the ceremony of Lindy & Jeffrey~2 Californians that transplanted in NYC. They showed us the city better than any tour guide could have...nothing beats having a local show you around! I think I could live there if the Lord called us East! It was an amazing time. I took so many pictures that I will have a blog entry for each day we were in NY!
