So our second annual trip to NYC with my mom was yet again another success. We ended staying a day or so longer than last year which gave us some more time. We stayed at the same hotel, the Salisbury, only two blocks from Central Park. We scored a sweet room, more like a suite, with a separate sitting room, kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom and many closets! Every morning we woke up to the sound of trash outside before heading out to run in Central Park every morning followed quickly by Dunkin Donuts coffee to warm our freezing hands. The rest of the day was spent walking as much as we could around the city, shopping, eating the best corned beef in the world at Carnegie Deli, riding the subway, seeing the WTC site, a broadway show, Rockefeller Center and the massive tree, gorging on real NYC bagels with lox, Zabar's, pretzels, dining at 21 club, drinking the best infused vodka I've ever had at a Russian bar, and that's only half of it. They other great part was having my good friend Jen travel down on the train from her home in Hyde Park to hang out for a couples days. We ate the best cheesy crusty gourmet mac and chess, froze our butts off at a rooftop club overlooking the Empire State building while drinking hot toddies, shopped until we dropped in Bryant Park and had amazing sushi before seeing Wicked. Overall it was an amazing time. How lucky am I too be able to be with my wonderful Mom as shes takes me and Jen around the city she grew up in. So here are a few pictures from the trip.
