Last weekend Steven and I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in NYC. We knew there would be tons of walking and late nights so we decided to only take the older kiddos. We left the littles with friends. We were there for 2 days and I am still exhausted :-) In stead of telling you all of the things that we did, I will instead share our list and what we thought of them.
#1 Brothers Pizza- Great pizza place on Staten Island. Though we couldn't understand anything that was said, the food was great!
#2 Staten Island Ferry- Fun view into the city. First day into the city it was 101 and hazy. Hard to see a good view of the city until we were close.
#3 China Town-Tons of fun and weirdness :-). We weren't in China Town for more than a block and we had people whispering in our ears "Coach,Prada,Guess,Gucci"."You want bag, come come!!" Good laughs, but no bags were bought.
#4 Tasty Hand Pulled Noodle- Eating a here turned out to be one of the biggest treats of the trip. We had done our research before and found this restaurant on the FoodNetwork page. It was featured on "The Best thing I ever Ate" watch HERE . It was hands down the best Chinese food I have eaten. LOVED IT!!!
#5 Doughnut Plant-This doughnut place was researched by Baily. She has earned her stripes before in picking some pretty cool places that we have to check on when on vacation. So we made the walk and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. (or jelly doughnuts for our labor :-) Actually I had a creme brulee doughnut. Complete with a fire glazed top. You can see more about this doughnut shop HERE.
#6 Bagels- We woke up on Friday and the main thing on our minds was breakfast. And what else could we eat for breakfast while in NYC except bagels. We ended up with a bag of about 15-16 bagels that were as big as our head. Good food :-) No Pictures :-(
#7 Subway to Time Square- Subway was fun and clean. Nothing too crazy. The girls were a little nervous but that passed quickly.
Until they saw this dude (the one getting off the subway.....not Steven :-)
#8 Serendipity 3- Frozen hot chocolate...... (nuff said)
PS-Though it was fun and a novelty to go.....IMHO it wasn't worth the wait :-( Maybe we will try the new one that they just opened up in Georgetown.
#9 Dylan's Candy Bar- Amazing 3 story candy store right down from Serendipity. Great place to "wait" to get into Serendipity.
#10 Toys R Us- WOW! They had a Ferris wheel in the middle of the store, a Barbie House that was actually a Barbie store, a life size T-rex, and an almost life-size Optimus Prime.
Dad enjoying Barbie world!
We also hit the M&M store, the Disney store, H & M, The Apple store, Junior's Cheesecake, American Girl, and much more. Here are the other fun shots that I got to take.
