We love New York

There was never a shortage of things to do and see on our trip. Irene and Fred were so good to us. I loved meeting them and we will see them when they come to Florida in January. The view from their condo was amazing. We arrived late on Sat and walked at least 20 blocks before dinner. We saw Rockefeller Center, New York Library (the outside only), Grand Central Station and St Patricks Cathedral.Sun we spent at the Guggenheim, (they were doing major construction on most of the buildings) The Metropolitan Museum, Zabars, Lincoln Center (where Jesse was sitting and having a snack) and walked through Central Park to Strawberry Fields.
If it wasn't for Irene and Fred we wouldn't have gone to as many museums as we did..
Monday we went to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Wall St, Ground Zero, China town and Little Italy. There was a street festival down wall street for Columbus Day. Jesse managed to get footage. I will attach a video.

Tue we spent at the Museum of Natural History. Let me tell you we were getting very tired and our feet were killing us.. lolWe also went to the flat iron building, Times Square and Madison Square Gardensbefore going to see Chicago on Broadway.






Wed is when everything slowed down a little. We took a tour of the UN and had the chance to sit in on one of the meetings. It was China and Great Britain. We also went to the New York Library again to see the inside and Carnegie Deli where Jesse took a picture for Joaquin. We had dinner in Little Italy with Fred and Irene.Thursday it was off to the Jewish Museum and upper Central Park. We went back home for a rest and walked around town later that night.



Friday was the last day to run around and fit everything in.. We left early and went to the Museum of Modern Art. We also went to the Empire State Building and waited for 2 hours to get up to the top and see the view. I wouldn't recommend the trip up.... We finished our day with a little Zabars and back home..
