Jeff and I just had a wonderful long weekend in NY City! We left super early on Saturday, and I got back Tuesday (Jeff comes back Wed after his conference ends). We packed in as much as possible during our 3 short nights but definitely want to go back to experience more. We enjoyed WAY TOO MANY great things to recount them all here, but a few of the highlights included our hotel in the heart of Times Square (here's the view we had from our window), a fabulous dinner at a fun little French restaurant frequented by lots of celebrities--many of whom are painted in this "Where's Waldo" type painting above our table.
We strolled through Central Park on a gorgeous sunny Sunday afternoon, finding the infamous Balto the dog statue that Margaret and Caroline wanted us to see, and eating hotdogs from the street vendors. Jeff reminisced at the sailboat pond where he and Steve sailed toy boats as kids (along with Stuart Little, so we're told...).
We visited Ground Zero in lower Manhattan--the scale of the demolition and reconstruction effort is absolutely unbelievable.
We wandered through Greenwich Village and Little Italy, where we had to watch the "yogi contortionists" in a local park and stop for some Espresso and Gelato!
We devoured bagels with lox & cream cheese at a genuine Kosher deli and saw the musical hit "Chicago" at the Ambassaor Theater on Broadway.
Be sure to ask Jeff about the personally autographed CD he got from a genuine up-an'-comin' gangsta rapper while walking back to our hotel after the show. I could go on and on, but I'm getting exhausted just thinking about it all! Gotta go to bed now :-)
