'Cause It's New York!!!!!!

I am finally getting around to posting!  I just finished my first week with my kids and it went really well.  So here's a recap of our trip to New York!

When we arrived, we check in at the Marriott Marquis (one of the perks of David travelling so much is free hotel points!) and headed to Carnegie's Deli.  It was ok.  Just ok.  We shared a Reuben which was HUGE, but we were herded in the restaurant and then herded out.  Then, we went for a walk through Central Park, FAO Schwartz and Tiffany's.  Afterward, we headed back to the hotel to the concierge lounge (again, another perk of David travelling so much) where we got snacks and drinks.



We visited all the normal sites, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Times Square and Rockefeller Center.

We saw two shows while we were there.  "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" on Broadway, and "Perfect Crime" off Broadway.  



While we were there we also went to Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, NJ from the show Cake Boss.  We waited in line for about 45 minutes, but it was fun to see the bakery from the show.  We got a ton of good things, and it was very reasonably priced.

Neither of us had ever walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, so we did that as well.  It was hot, but good exercise.  I couldn't believe how crowded it was!

And the food...we didn't do well on food in NYC.  We went to a lot of places and weren't impressed.  The best place we ate was Peking Duck, and we got.........Peking Duck.  We went to Bar American, a Bobby Flay restaurant, and were not impressed.  The food was ok, nothing spectacular and definitely not worth the money.  Then, we of course ate in Times Square at a tourist trap where the waiters and waitresses perform, but it was still a fun night.



We had a great trip, but my feet have never been so sore!
