New York: Day One

On our first day in New York we grabbed breakfast at Duncan Donuts and literally ate on the street on our way to catch the double decker tour bus. While on the “Uptown Loop” we walked through Central Park and down the first half of 5th Avenue.

Central Park



This is the Conservatory Garden where some of "Enchanted" was filmed. This is where many wealthy people have their wedding and receptions.


Of course we had to stop at FAO Schwartz Toy Store for the famous floor piano! That was one of my favorite things! If you've seen the movie "BIG" you'd understand. haha
That night on the subway we hit “rush hour” where bodies were very tightly crammed onto every train. Warning: Do not take train between the hours of 7 and 10 in the morning or 4 and 7 at night. Got it! Needless to say we never made that mistake again. :)

New York: Day Two

Our second day in New York we took the “Downtown Loop” which includes Times Square and SoHo where we did some shopping. Then we went to China Town and Little Italy.
The Flat Iron building was really amazing!
The Manhattan Temple right smack in the middle of everything. Pretty crazy!

Times Square was so much fun to see in person. There is so much to look at.






We ate at Lombardi's (New York's first pizzeria) while in Little Italy. Fresh Mozzarella and Basil Pizza with Root Beer…Now that’s a good meal!!
That night we headed to the Bronx to see a Yankees game and the new stadium right across the street. It was pretty cool to see a game at the original Yankee Stadium.


Then on the way back to our hotel I was nearly squashed like a bug between the closing doors on the subway. Good Times! :) We spotted Red Mango as soon as we stepped off the subway so we had to stop for some frozen yogurt. Delicious!

New York: Day Three

The day started out really rainy and foggy (hence the umbrella). But once we got to the ferry the rain stopped, the sky cleared up and it ended up being a beautiful warm day.

Here we are...way down at the very bottom. Can you see us? :)
This picture was originally really foggy but thanks to Photoshop, it looks like a beautiful view.
Here is Lady Liberty's very large foot. She has some long toes like somebody else I know....
We were just leaving Liberty Island on the ferry on our way to Ellis Island.

As we were walking through the city I spotted this little place called Samantha's Trattoria. Very cute! The Statue of Liberty was incredible. In one of these pictures you can see how large just her face is compared to us. (She's kind of manly looking. :p)
