Things I found interesting enough to take a picture of

The windows in Grand Central Station

 

 

The light fixture in the market.

Places to go...

I was trying to decide how to post our trip to New York and I came up with the old saying "I've got places to go, people to see and things to do."  So that is how I am sharing our trip.  Places to go: The Chrysler building

Grand Central Station who is celebrating 100 years.

The public library.  We came across this by accident but it is a beautiful building.

Rockefeller Center

Did you know that the famed ice rink is transformed into a cafe during the summer?  We didn't.

NBC studios

Central park.  It's cool to be in a park with the hustle and bustle of kids playing, carriage rides, ball games and every type of person but you can still see the city.

Carnegie hall

 

Radio City Music Hall

 

And of course, Time Square.  What an amazing day we had exploring the city.

People to see...

In New York City there are so many people to see.  In Grand Central Station you can see so many different nationalities, tourist and business people grabbing lunch.

If your mom really really loves you she will call months in advance to get tickets to your favorite late night show.  I guess these three didn't have a mom who thought that far in advance so they had to settle with a picture in front of his marquee.

I know it is wrong to take a picture in a public bathroom but this lady was sporting a TAIL!  She caught me taking the picture and gave me discount tickets to the dinosaur exhibit in the park.

Time square is full of loonies dressed up in all kinds of costumes.  You are expected to "tip" these dorks if you take a picture with them.  So I just took a picture OF them.  Wonder Woman, Hello Kitty,the Hulk, the naked cowboy and sadly a 80 year old woman walking around in a bikini bottom with her hair covering her chest as the naked cowgirl.

Time Square is truly a melting pot.

This guy was just sitting as still as a statue.  We almost walked right by until he moved to light his cigarette.

You can even find Mike Wazowski.

Things to do

While in New York City there are many things to do.  You can grab lunch at Grand Central Station and bite into a garlic dill pickle and make this sort of face.  We didn't know they were garlic.

You can ride one of the many subway trains.  If you are lucky you will walk past what appears to be an empty station and have the train come in and blow it's horn.  You will then be what everyone is laughing at because you yelp and jump at the unexpected sound.

You can stand on any street and count the vast amount of yellow cabs.

You can admire or count all of the flags around Rockefeller Center.

You can sit in Central park on a hot day and enjoy an ice cream with your peeps.

You can walk block after block and enjoy the beautiful architecture.
