Back from a [Another] GREAT Weekend in New York!

by shrimp56 - last update: Mar 14, 2003

Grand Central Station
On a recent visit [March '03] the city seemed more sober as war seemed imminent. Still -- it's New York:)
--------------
New York, New York -- it's still there, still vibrant and still crazy...

We arrived Friday night, met our friend and had a GREAT dinner at a Spanish restaurant we just lucked into. On Saturday I took our friend [who had never been to NYC] on a whirlwind tour of the necessities: The Staten Island Ferry, the Empire State Building and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. After that our feet HURT! That evening we ate with a group of mutual friends at La Mangeoire. The next day my husband and I went back to the "Met" and just luxuriated in the museum's riches.

Please enjoy the pictures in the travelogue here.

 Loved seeing NYC thru your eyes! hee hee NYC is a very Irish town indeed as Mr. Connolly can attest. :) Can't wait to see it myself.

 I suppose if you had leaned out the window to the right you could have seen even more of the Empire State Building (LOL). I went to college in New York, but have only been back rarely since then.

 Good suggestions for my NYC adventures sooner or later. The sphere that survived the attack on the World Trade Center on display at Battery Park looks touching.
