NYC-subway was my dream! And it still is! Unfortunately... I was reading so much about that system, i know it from the pics and drom the stories of my friends, and when i came to NYC - i haven't got a chance to ride it! There was no time. I rode only the Sky Train at the JFK airport between termina…

It was an absolutely perfect day to enjoy music outdoors in NYC.  We planned to meet up with friends at Bourbon Street (46th bet 8th and 9th Aves...see review) for a touch of New Orleans food and music to get us in the mood.  We met up with friends of mine from the NO Jazz Fest bored...Th…

Some random pics from my random travels

Mark took me to New York for Valentine's Day and also as part of my birthday present for March! We had an amazing time - Mark's been to NYC so many times, he had an Aunt and Uncle who lived nearby and he'd go twice a year when he was younger, but this was my first time. We had dinner at the Rainbo…

Why has taken me so long to return to the greatest city in the world? It is like 10 different countries rolled into one. Fabulous characters, great food, wonderful entertainment and a surprise around every corner. Saw 5 Broadway shows, each one very different, CEILA, story of Ceila Cruz the queen of Salsa, MAMA MIA, music by Abba, great cast, "A BRONX TALE" Chazz Palmintteri giving a wonderful performance in the story of his early life, and SPAMALOT, sensational, finally August Osage County

I was at a Hot Dog cart within a hour of being dropped at Grand Central. They are everywhere. Near enough on every block corner... Welcome to New York City my stomach said :) Hot Dogs are just the tip of this culinary iceberg called New York City. I had my very first Knish experience in …

This was our first trip to New York City. We took a bus with a bunch of other people which dropped us all off in Manhattan. We had untill 9:00 pm to do what ever we wanted, because at 9:00 pm, the bus was leaving to come back home to Annapolis, Maryland. We took a brief walk to Central Park, walked…

Our first day in New York we decided to take a walk and just soak up the atmosphere.  We're staying on 42nd street and its only a quick walk to just about everything.  We walked down 5th Avenue but there was a parade - maybe something todo with Columbus Day which was the next day.  L…

Time to go home. We knew the end was approaching. I guess everyone who has gone on a long trip has that feeling that the trip is about to end soon. We were not sad, but glad that we would be going home again, not because we had a bad trip, no, it was awesome! But it would be a good thing to be …

Halfway home.  We are back in the JFK waiting area waiting for our jet for the final let home.  I am still not impressed with this airport.  We had a bit of a layover so we stopped to eat in the food court.  Not only was it highly over priced (expected) but it was hotter than I …

This trip was a short weekend trip to spend some time with friends who were there for "work". We stayed at the Marriott downtown (one block from Ground Zero) and did the sites.

Went up to the Montreal meetup during the July 4th weekend with Matt, Ruthie & my friend Madeline. Had a rough ride up there, but after spending time with some of my favorite people, Mario & Val, it was well worth it.

I've decided I'm not sleeping tonight--instead, I'll "play though", and stay out in NYC until my 8 AM flight to Heathrow. I recruited a few friends to help me party tonight: Jen, Dave and Nick. They just tumbled out of a karaoke bar after a serious session with some Japanese friends, and they're no…

Woke up early today and walked down the block to grab a quick bite to eat. The weater was a bit warmer than I had expected at 47 degrees and sunny. This was still pretty cold to me since it was 70 degrees when I left L.A. I decided to walk over to Madison Square park and the Flatiron. NYC is just a…
