Took My oldest kid to NYC this past weekend. She said it was the best 4 days of her life. It was pretty awesome seeing it with her, and through her eyes.
-
We saw the building they are erecting to replace the World Trade Center. It is coming along nicely.
-
We went down to Wall Street and saw the New York Stock Exchange, plus the Wall street Bull. Fun fact, the bull is not actually on Wall Street. Its on Broadway. We went to see the Play; Billy Elliott, on Broadway, Except even though it's a Broadway play, it was actually on 44th street. We went to Times Square, the Flat Iron Building, China Town, and Little Italy.
-
They had a Harry Potter exhibit in the Discovery building which was near the theater where we saw the Billy Elliot play.
-
We went to the top of the Rockefeller center and the top of the Empire State Building. We rode the subway all over that town, and went to see the Statute of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. We rented some bikes and toured all over Central Park.
-
We saw the UN building and the Flat Iron Building. We met a friend of mine in China Town and on the way there, we saw a bucket full of Frogs. (they were for sale, 4.99 a lb)
-
We saw some break dancers in the street when we were walking back from the fire Works show they had on the fourth of July, and then a street preacher who looked more like a pimp, but he was definitely preaching. We gave a dollar to about 5 homeless people, maybe 6, we lost count . We talked with a couple of New Yorkers on the subway, had a really good dinner down in Greenwich village and saw a tranny walking down the street.
-
I took her to see Grand Central Station and we also ate some NY Pizza at Rays. We had some Hot Dogs from some street vendors and we also went to Moma. We got yelled at by the security guard for taking a picture of Van Gogh's Starry night with the flash still on, and we also rode a bunch of elevators in the Macy's on 34th Street.
-
We ate at some little diners, and we shopped in the Garment District. (as well as a bunch of other stores my kid made me go in while we were walking, including the M and M store and the most awesome Toys R Us.) - Plus we saw Washington square and a guy playing a Piano right under the Arch.
-
Took her to a Comedy Club in Times Square and we laughed. -
-
Good times, I am looking forward to taking my Youngest child in a couple of years from now.
