This is a very special place for me. It was here where my life really changed. Always a good time, there are many bars and stores to occupy you. Come in and have a drink overlooking the river and Brooklyn. There is always something going on here in the summer time. Live music either during lunch or after work. Street performers. The best of the bunch was a Wednesday afternoon. You’ll not be bored with old ships to check out while waiting for the tours of the water that leave and arrive from here. On Wednesdays in the summer there has been live music outside. Usually Latin music on the days I find myself here.

Again someplace I have not been in years here in the city. Used to come with my sister when she lived in the city.
They have all sorts of tapes of radio programs and tv shows that you can sit and view. I took so long reading the lists my first time we left without me seeing anything as i just couldnt decide what to watch.
Have just come into a copy of the radio call of game 3 of the 1963 World Series I must say i would now much rather be into the radio side of the place. And as such should be returning this week.

Liz on line for zeppole
This is a street festival in Little Italy every September. It has all your typical fair events like games and fast food. I was lucky to see it the first time the night a hurricane was hitting the coast so it wasnt overwhelmed with people. And even then it was crowded. But just another part of a wonderful evening.
Liz loves the San Gennaro Festival despite the crowds. She loves her Italian food, pastry and zeppole. We decided to go to the Festival with Chris and Karen. Chris had never been to the festival before and wanted to finally see it. It was a fun yet crowded time. We enjoyed some zeppole, cannoli, lobster tails and some drinks before leaving the festival.
We recently went to the festival and brought our friend Laura. It was a mess of people but she enjoyed walking along and taking in the sights and people. She even found two dresses from a vendor that she bought.

The 9th Avenue Food Festival is more of a street fair than a food festival. The typical vendors are out selling zeppole, funnel cake, corn on the cob, sausage and peppers, candy apples, coton candy and other fair type items. They have some games and vendors selling anything from tube socks to dresses. After some zeppole and walking around we left and headed for some real food.
I used to love coming here. Came back here with Tamir and Tania for the chocolate exhibit in 2003. Was quite interesting. Saw so much that day VT can't hold it all.
This is one of the best museums in NYC and I feel it is often forgotten about in comparison to the art musuems by most tourists.
Museum is open daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas from 10 to 5:45 while the Rose Center stays open late on First Fridays along with the Space Show.
Address: Central Park West and about 85th street.

This place, whether you're religous or not, is moving. We made a quick detour up here while making our way across town one evening. I have been here many times before but never with my camera. That said I feel about as I do with the world trade center complex as I do with churches. Its a sad fact that these places are tourist attractions. Please be sure to be respectful when you are here. I am certainly not catholic but it is a place you should dress properly, not use flash, and be quiet. Turn off that phone. Take off the hat. Leave when asked.
Address: East 51st St, 5th Avenue.
Enjoying a day at our favorite museum
Seems I find myself coming here more and more often. Always something new to be seen. It is one of my favorite museums in the city and I will always recommend coming here to anyone who will listen. You can literally find nearly everything in here that would strike your fancy from a museum.
Closed on Mondays and open only until 530 most days this is a day time event for people. They are open until 9pm on Friday and Saturday. Suggested donation is now $20 for adults. $10 for seniors and students. This is SUGGESTED. You can pay a quarter if you want. Pay what you can and no one will stop you from entering. The lowest price membership is $60 per year for locals and $50 per year if you live outside 200 miles from the museum.
Address: 1000 Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street
Directions: Take 4, 5, or 6 train to 86th Street and walk three blocks west to Fifth Avenue
