New York City
October 12, 2007
Friday started with breakfast at the deli located in the hotel. I think the name was Broadway Deli. The omelets and coffee were good and inexpensive.
|
We started the day with some shopping along 42nd St including the Sanrio store
|
We took the subway to Greenwich Village and walked around, stopping at a few shops. |
This is 75-1/2 Bedford St. This house claims to be the narrowest house in the city. It measures 8 ft. 7 in. wide; at its narrowest, it’s 2 ft. wide.
|
| From Greenwich Village, we took the subway to Brooklyn, exiting at High St. We walked around Water St for a bit, stopping to have an ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, enjoying the sights at the Fulton Ferry Landing and then headed back to Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge. |

| After returning to Manhattan, we continued to walk through China Town, stopping to have lunch at Pomodoro Pizza on Spring St, continuing through SOHO and back to Greenwich Village to take the subway back to hotel. The dinner/show at Birdland was standing room only so we again had dinner at Hell's Kitchen. After dinner, we walked around Times Square again, stopped in at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum (just to take pictures with the statues in the lobby) and finally going to a comedy show at the Laugh Factory. | ||
