Cooking is good too, if relentlessly healthy :D<br /><br />We did a tourist trip a few summers back--got the girls to some of our favorite places like the Central Park Zoo. Did Chinatown, with lunch at a Chinese cafeteria buffet--tasty cheap food but really basic--not even AC on a hot day. Did the Circle Line--we hadn't done that in years, and won't again soon--it's pricey.<br /><br />Hate Times Square. Preferred it back in the days of my youth with the sleaze and dirt. That at least was REAL! Now it's Disney World North w/nothing there that you can't get elsewhere. <br /><br />Love the ferry--the Man and I have both ridden it since childhood. My brother the hedge fund robber baron thinks otherwise of Rudy 911, but IMHO the only good thing he did for the city was make the ferry free!<br /><br />I am HOMESICK!!!The Library Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321601076252214546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-59403947723298998572010-04-02T22:15:33.749-04:002010-04-02T22:15:33.749-04:00you must need a nap!you must need a nap!flutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828689769747130419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-48107257891438976412010-04-02T20:44:06.165-04:002010-04-02T20:44:06.165-04:00sigh. that sound divine.sigh. that sound divine.Life in Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191548142552797374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-75193525003711523552010-04-02T20:41:39.844-04:002010-04-02T20:41:39.844-04:00Sounds like you did it right!
