I was in NYC this past week. The City was great. I arrived a day late due to the snow storm. The City was beautiful. I did plenty of walking. Bryant Park (behind the NY Public Library) was filled with shoppers, skaters and plenty of tourists. The flowing fountains were partially frozen. We visited Yankee Stadium and some of the shops there were open. I was able to see how the demolition of the old Stadium was progressing. ...kind of sad. I also walked the Brooklyn Bridge and walked around Borough Hall up Fulton Street (Mall) to the Long Island Railroad on Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues. We had gotten an all day subway pass and traveled to both Wall Street And the City Hall stops. It was great to walk around lower Manhattan. We then went up to Central Park (around Columbus Circle). The Park was spectacular with the snow. I will blog more about this trip later.

I'll be off to NYC next week. This will be the fifth year I'll be visiting NYC during the holiday season. The City is fantastic at this time of year. The windows at Lord and Taylor are beautiful. The shops at Bryant Park are great to visit. I always hope to do something different than I've done before. I'll be up there with my nephew and his fiance. They're from Florida. I enjoy playing tour guide. The rates of the hotels in The City have come down significantly. The last time I was back in NYC was at the end of October. I got to see the Yanks beat the Angels in Game 6 of the ALCS for the American League pennant. I will blog again after I get back in about two weeks.
