I think I'll start with a few pictures.....
After the Met, we walked down 5th Avenue to Central Park. I really like this picture of The Pond. I like the contrast of nature vs the skyscrapers.
This building caught my eye... I found this on the web:
"Hearst Tower in Midtown Manhattan has achieved official "green" status--the first office building in New York City to be recognized by the USGBC for high environmental performance both on its exterior (core and shell) and interior fit-out and systems". Pretty Cool!!
This is Wollman Rink. I actually saw my first ever rock concert here in July of 1972. We saw Don McClean - American Pie. Bill Withers opened for him. It will always be remembered as my first...therefore it's special like no other. This season the city has a little amusement park there. Rides and games for the kiddies. It made me happy to see the smiling people there. That spot has really good Karma!
This impressive sculpture by José de Creeft was unveiled in 1959 and overlooks the Conservatory Water.
Features Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse and the Cheshire Cat. It's magical!!
Ok, this is starting to feel like someones vacation slide show...I won't show you all 50 pictures...lol...so i will end for tonight...I will try to put a web album together soon,so those of you who actually want to view the photos can..
We had a wonderful trip!!

Why does the camera always seem to come out when people's mouths are full????
Looks as though you had a great time - Love the Van Gogh. They don't let me in the art museum any more, after the "Sharpie Marker Incident"
I read on the web that it's named Hearst Tower because Patty Hearst was kidnapped (again) and is being held in it.
Well Phos, I did need to show proof that I was indeed eating a NY Hot Dog..there were readers that actually requested that! ;-) Kinky I know..
That sharpie incident sounds intriguing!
P - at least she's green now...she can stay there for decades..

And where is MINE?????? I am waiting missy!
I want to see all 50 pictures...puuuullllease!!!!
OK, I will stop begging.
BTW I like mine with mustard and the onions...and some crushed red pepper...YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMO
Bond I think they "get it" about the dogs..no one has asked about it.Go figure.
But I found it odd that NYD hadn't ever heard them called that!! NYD????
The mustard onions and crushed red pepper sounds really good. YUMMO is right!
I am going to try to get a web album together that you can view..just haven't had a chance yet.
Oh by the way on trh way to EWR we stopped at Calandra's bakery in North Newark on Bloomfield Ave. and picked up pignoli cookies and Tarales to bring home..you can take the girl outta Jersey, but baby, you can't take the Jersey out of the girl!! I LOVE IT!
