I went to New York City this weekend.
We took the train from Connecticut for about an hour and a half to Grand Central station in Manhattan at around 10am.
I got to ride through and take a picture of Harlem. It’s pretty sketchy there.
We took a subway and went street level to check out the outside of the Empire State building and have a hotdog. They NY hotdogs I’ve always heard about where nothing special, just a steamed hotdog with normal bun and optional sweet mustard and onions. I was imagining some huge bbq’d thing with sauerkraut or something.
Then we went to Rockefeller Center (no tree, just a small rink). I imagined a much larger rink !We saw some cathedral and the trump tower. We walked up to the edge of Central Park and took a picture of some green, some trees and a horse.
We went to Chinatown and the Italian place and a lot of people tried to see us purses. It’s weird, they wont look at you when you walk by but they say under their breath “purses purses…”. We went to a Chinese place and I had some pork stuff on rice and Diana had foe in a bowl the size of a sink. For dessert we went to Italy area and had fancy desserts.
We got on the subway to the ferry to float last the statue of liberty. It was dark out so I just got a picture of blackness with snowflakes reflecting off the camera flash. I saw the barely lit up thing though.
We went and walked on the street-level (I forget where) to see the nightlife and all the lit up streets.
We left around 8pm for the train home before the big storm hit.
The drive home was horrible. In Connecticut there was so much blowing snow I couldn’t see the road. I saw about 20 people in the ditch and actually saw about 5 go off the road. After I left Connecticut it was pretty smooth sailing, the storm was pretty southern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
