We went on our annual trip to NYC to see the Christmas sights. We pretty much do the same thing each year: take the train down to Grand Central Terminal, go see the Rockefeller tree, go to St. Patrick's cathedral, have lunch somewhere fun, visit Balto in Central Park, go to FAO Schwartz, look at the windows in Saks and watch the snowflake show on the front of the building, have dinner at TGI Fridays, then lastly get magazines at Hudsons News and a snack for the train home. As far as new york vacations go, at holiday time NYC can't be beat! If you'd like to see pics of Central Park and Balto, and a video of the Saks snowflake show, you can see it my blog post from last year's trip here. Here are a few shots from this year...
Nativity inside St. Pat's
Rice heart from our lunch at Benihana. Excellent place to take the family for lunch and VERY reasonable for Manhattan.
Beautiful bow on Cartier's
The end.
I take the train from Albany/Rensselear into Penn Station. Haven't done that in several years and just thinking about it really is giving me the yen to do it. Not to be this year but I think I had better plan better for next season. Only I'd like to stay over a night.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a nice time. And that cake is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful day. I think New York has the "aura" of presenting the most classic Christmas scenes of anywhere in America. When I think of "silver bells" and whatnot, I always think of New York shops...but I've never even been there, so I could be totally wrong. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very nice way to spend the day, Carole. That red velvet cake is amazing. It looks huge, yet oh so delicious. :)
