Our Final NYC day

Our last day in NCY was rainy. We both had our rain boots though, so we got on the subway and headed downtown to get a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. (We had planned on doing this on Friday, but due to our sleeping in, we didn't have time.) Our glimpse, however, was obstructed by the fog, so we hopped onto the ferry and rode out to get an up close look at her. We were able to walk around the statue, and then on the way back, we got to stop at Ellis Island. It was a wet and breezy trip, but a good time.


Many of the subway stops had nice tilework that told you the name of the stop.



The ferry ride



This display was neat because is shows the flag on one side, and the people who make up our nation on the other.

After our boat ride, we went to Canal Street and walked to Chinatown. We did not stop to buy any knock off purses (mainly because we had no room in our bags for them!), but I did buy a $5 umbrella that broke within 5 minutes! We also stopped at an authentic Chinese restaurant to get an eggroll appetizer. Right beside the ducks was where we waited while they cooked them!

The menu was in Chinese...glad they understood "eggroll" in English!

Jennifer beside the ducks! We had the opportunity to order duck later at our dinner, but somehow it was not too appealing!

For the entree, we went to Little Italy and ate at Da Nico. We had a hard time deciding where to eat with all the men standing outside their places wooing us with promises of homemade pasta while blowing kisses! We enjoyed our lunch and even heard the men in the back talking what we assumed was Italian and saying "Forget about it". It was fun.


A walk through Soho was the most crowded of our entire trip, so we decided to head uptown to Macy's. It really is a huge store and the wooden escalators were fun to ride on.

Shopping in Macy's!



Shopping at Times Square to get our last minute gifts included a turn on the Toys-R-Us ferris wheel. A store with it's own ferris wheel is definitely unique! Too bad we had to ride the Nickelodeon car with Sponge Bob and Rugrats!

Superman in a super big store!

Riding the ferris wheel!

We both love Castle!


We bought giant Hershey bars at the Hershey store!

We had our last dinner at a Yum Yum's Thai restaurant. It was, well, yummy! Then to our final show, Mary Poppins. It was, well, supercal..., sorry, didn't learn how to spell that!




We ended our evening with cheesecake at Carnegie Deli. Although we didn't get one, we couldn't help staring at other people's sandwiches. They were at least 6 inches tall full of corned beef! The cheesecake was better than the first night's and Jennifer was finally satisfied with her dessert!! A chocolate torte cheesecake! It was to die for! And a great way to end an awesome trip! Thanks Jenn for going with me. And thanks Dave and Rob for watching the kids for us to be able to play! Can't wait until you turn 40 Jennifer!
