MORE NEW YORK SITES
Well we found the hotel we stayed at 20 years ago when we came to NYC with High Street on a mission trip! It has a new name but was pretty much the same ... as best we could remember!
You really couldn't see much at Ground Zero....it was a huge hole under construction and they had a big covered fence around it. But it was a little eerie to walk around it and see all the huge buildings around it still standing. What it must have been like to be in one of those buildings and watch this all take place.
Central park was beautiful and we couldn't believe how big it was. We walked to it Sunday night around midnight which didn't make Lisa very happy (it really wasn't smart, but oh well) we went back the next morning when it was a little bit safer.....and we made a stop at the today show.....which was fun.
It was a great weekend and so much fun to be able to pull off a surprise for Lisa....can't wait to see what she will do for me on our 22nd Anniversary next year........!!
GREAT NYC FOOD
What an experience riding the subway to Brooklyn to eat at Franny's........An amazing restaurant that our friend Neki Davis manages.....it was truly a New York Eating Experience....their menu changes every day as they only use fresh local ingredients and you can tell it when you taste their food. They made our soda fresh from scratch.....cherry limeade and grape soda! It was great....thanks Neki and friends!
Then we ate at Max Brenner's Chocolate by the Bald Man......not much of a food menu.....but an outstanding dessert menu or should we say book. Thank you for the recommendation Jan as this was truly a sweet experience....we had never been to a Chocolate Restaurant! It was packed and what a fun place to break all the rules.....dessert for dinner!!
SURPRISE, SURPRISE.....IT'S NEW YORK CITY
Lisa had no idea where we were going until we got to the airport yesterday morning.....I surprised her with a trip to NYC for our 21st Anniversary. The last time we were here was in 1988....20 years ago. We ate at a place called Maxies last night.....huge portions of food and it was so good. We also went to see Wicked last night.....that was amazing.....unbelievable performers. We walked around today just seeing the sites (and the weirdos) of NYC. We had lunch with Ron & Susan Taylor and their kids Noah & Ally - we took them to Toys R Us in Time Square....it is huge and has a Ferris Wheel in the store! It was fun. We found the hotel we stayed at 20 years go...it had changed names but was still there. Heading out to see more sites and eat more great food tonight.
