A map of NYC..... we spent all of our time in Manhatten, but cruised the Hudson river and we were able to view the other skyline spots by water as well. :)
Our first Broadway show--- Mary Poppins, of course. Spit-spot! :) LOL
Taking in the sights of Rockefeller Plaza. We even took an NBC tour and saw the sets of Conan O'brien and "Live from New York-- Its Saturday night live! SNL was on hiatus until August & since it was Saturday... Conan wasnt filming. I was amazed that the cast of SNL work 100 hr weeks for 24 weeks, then they take a break.... how's that for dedication? Unfortunately, it was prohibited to take pics inside the NBC studio. :(
Bruce Willis was premiering his movie "Live Free- Die Hard" when we were there on June 22nd. The red carpets and the crowd started in as the evening progressed.
A Cute picture of Miss M&M..... as Lady Liberty inside the M& M sweet shop :)
You can't go to NYC without getting a photo of The Late Show w/ David Letterman! LOL
St. Patricks Cathedral. There was even a wedding going on when we went in on Saturday, June 23rd. Inside, it was beautiful... the stained glass windows were amazing.
NYC skyline at the Pier... on our Circle Line Water tour
Brooklyn Bridge
The lady in all her Glory!
Beautiful view of Central Park
In no particular order, here are a few of my favorite NYC pictures. Since we had over 100 photos, it was hard to post them all in the Kodak gallery. I think my all time favorite was the last picture, of the pigeon's "Birds eye" view overlooking Manhattan on the 85th floor of the Empire State Building. :)
NYC Tourism -
About 40 million foreign and American tourists visit New York City each year. Major destinations include the Empire State Building, Ellis Island, Broadway theatre productions, scores of museums such as the El Museo del Barrio, Washington Square Park, the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden, luxury shopping along Fifth and Madison Avenues, and events such as the Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village, the Tribeca Film Festival, and free performances in Central Park at Summerstage. Many of the city's ethnic enclaves, such as Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Brighton Beach are major shopping destinations for first and second generation Americans up and down the East Coast. New York's food culture, influenced by the city's immigrants and large number of dining patrons, is diverse. Jewish and Italian immigrants made the city famous for bagels and New York style pizza
