NEW YORK



NEW YORK


Finally! Getting a chance to write a little bit about our four day trip to New York.  Hands down, way way to short.  New York is a must do! Not just once but several times.  Our four days were packed with everything to do and see.  It was go go go from the moment we landed.  I've never been more exhausted!  Getting up early and going to bed at 11, 12 midnight and not even clubbing😳
That's how busy we were.  We did, The Brooklyn Bridge, Dumbo Brooklyn, Central Park, Grand Central Station, New York Subway, Statue of Liberty, Staten Island, Times Square, Broadway, Radio City Music Hall, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Empire State Building, Little Italy, China Town, 911 Memorial, 911 Museum, One World Trade Center, Oculus, Rockefeller Center, New York Public Library Main Branch, Federal Hall National Memorial, New York Stock Exchange, fewwwwwww! That was a lot!

We saw a lot and did a lot.  Everything felt it was on super speed.  We would love to go again and take our time in each section of the city and really enjoy it.  Central Park and it's surrounding should be a day alone.  It's absolutely gorgeous!!!!  Would love to go back and see Central Park in full bloom, we can only imagine.  Staten Island and Miss Liberty will take a full day.  Little Italy looks fun for food and shopping.  Just to stroll around town and take it all in would be wonderful without being in a hurry.   China town with all it's illegal imitation products was a little scary (no, we didn't buy anything) in a asian accent voice "watcha want? You like? What model? You want buy? follow me....." (as they are walking next to you and  showing you fake loui, gucci, prada, etc.)  ah..... no thank you. Not going to jail in New York or anywhere else for that matter.  China town was loaded with an array of what looked like fast food asian restaurants, you all know I love food!  Specially different stuff.  Todd wasn't having any of it.😕  My niece Irene would be the perfect partner for that adventure. I shall return LOL! And yes, we will go into every little dive possible.
Grand Central Station was something like we've never seen before! We were both mesmerized how it all works and so efficiently.  If you like Oysters, go to the Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant, it was fabulous!
We walked, and walked and took a cab, took an uber and did ride sharing (forgot the name of the app 😞) along with riding the subway.  I thought the subway would be a little scary, but it was very easy to get the hang of it, and everyone was very pleasant and helpful.

We love you New York!  Until we meet again!


Thank you to the kind lady that got on the ground to take this photo, best part, I didn't have to ask :)
