Last week I was able to sneak away with two girl friends for a quick trip to NYC! My first one ever. They had both been there many times and were the perfect guides to show me around. We had a list of a million things to do, and only a couple of days to do them in!
We landed early in the afternoon and had a car service pick us up from LaGuardia and drop us off at our lovely B&B in Brooklyn. We freshened up and hit the town!
We took the subway and walked (26 miles in two days!) to get around.
I was all about the street food! We started off with a pretzel to eat while walked around Manhattan.
Central Park was amazing! So beautiful.
Buildings so tall, they disappear into the clouds.
Recognize this one?? The restaurant used in Seinfeld!
Unfortunately it started raining that evening around 5pm, so we spent a couple hours getting a bit wet....We ended up at an amazing BBQ place with live music and delicious smoked meat! We ate like ravenous hyenas.
After that we headed back to the room and relaxed for the night. Day 2 had perfect weather for sightseeing, and we started strong! I passed a street vendor selling homemade tamales on the way to the subway, so of course I had to get one!
We started by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. It was an amazing view! Too many people though, ha!
After that it was time for more street food! As we were sitting and eating, this cute little guy joined us!
Next to see the Wall Street bull...
...and the One World Trade Center and 9/11 Memorial.
After that we headed up to the Empire State Building!!
.
The views were amazing! Next was a quick run through the Natural History Museum before they closed. Then we went back to our room to refresh and recharge, then headed back out into the Big Apple to shut it down on our last night!
We started the evening by riding the Roosevelt Island Tram and got an amazing view of the nighttime cityscape.
We had to Grand Central Station! It was beyond impressive inside. Have you heard of the Whispering Gallery in it? Well we tried it out, and it works!
Next was food in Little Italy...
...then we found the Firehouse used in the original Ghostbusters movie!
Drinks along the way...
And we had to end the night with seeing Times Square again but at night! It was amazing and crazy.
We all had a great time and made many memories. I was a trooper and went straight from the airport Saturday evening to work!
