The Best of New York Food

As we were leaving the Financial District, it was time for lunch. We came upon a deli named The Best of New York Food. It was a true NY deli with breakfast eats, sandwiches, burgers, soups and of course, New York Cheesecake. Our food was very fresh, a good value for NYC and very good […]

New York Style Pizza

We made our way across town, taking the subway and walking several blocks to find Serendipity’s. Never having been to this ice cream parlor on steroids, as it is known, we were looking forward to see what all the hype was about. We found the Manhattan townhouse with Victorian decorations along with a very long […]

Never Forget

As we entered the 8-acre park a soft slow rain started to fall. The park is a supremely contemplative sanctuary, composed of a grove of nearly 400 white oak trees, and the largest man-made waterfalls in the United States. Set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers, each pool is approximately 1-acre in size. […]

Smith’s Bar

We stopped in at Smith’s bar located in Hell’s Kitchen to have drinks. It is a 60-year-old institution on Eighth Avenue and West 44th Street. This bar is own by Skip Panettiere, father of “Nashville” and “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere.  Hayden didn’t stop in while we were there. The drinks were good but not sweet […]

Time Square

It is arguably the most famous intersection in the world, and represents the diverse culture and energy of New York. This famous entertainment center is at the crossroad of Seventh Avenue and Broadway and stretches from 42nd to 47th streets. The unique lifestyle, art and commerce of this area are what make the city a […]

Midtown Waterfall Tunnel

Not too far from Times Square is Midtown Water fall Tunnel, a 17 1/2 foot long Plexiglas tunnel with water plunging, pouring and splashing down the wall. As you enter the tunnel it sounds strangely like a relaxing rainfall. The waterfall doubles as a pathway to a mini park behind the McGraw-Hill building. The waterfall […]

St. Patrick’s Cathedral

Since 1879, Saint Patrick’s has provided the faithful of New York, and the world, a place to find God among the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. The story of New York’s great cathedral mirrors the story of the city itself. Created to affirm the ascendance of religious freedom and tolerance, St. Patrick’s Cathedral was built-in […]

A Delightful Afternoon

After picking up our tickets, we took a selfie with the magic lamp in the lobby. We had matinée tickets for Aladdin at the New Amsterdam Theater on 42nd Street on Friday. The New Amsterdam, built in 1903, is one of the oldest surviving Broadway venues. As we enter the theater, it was amazing to […]

Junior’s

After our day, we were in need of something to eat for dinner but were still full from our lunch. We decided to stop at Junior’s on Broadway and 45th Streets, which has been referred to as the Crossroads of the World and is in Hell’s Kitchen area.  There was a long line to get […]
