New York City




Just a weekend in NYC. It's been two maybe three years since my last visit and Greg had been only once when he was 13. We had to get away for a few...We did the tourist thing and stayed at the Millennium Times Square, went down to Little Italy and Chinatown. We ate at Bella Notte on Mulberry, probably the only decent tourist place down there. We also found excellent pizza at Pizza Supreme next to Madison Square Gardens. I love the East Village so we checked out Trash and Vaudeville, Search and Destroy, Obscura Antiques, MUD Coffee, Gruppo Pizza, Crif Dog, Enzo's Rockabilly Clothing, Toy Tokyo, Vampire Freaks Clothing (found a super cute hoodie). We stopped by Washington Square Park to check out the street performers. Every place we stopped was worth a visit. We went down to WTC site, sad to say the least. Though Battery Park then back up to Times Square and bought some overly priced M&M's at M&M World :) Before we left we went through Brooklyn. I really wanted to check out Fuego 718 but it was closed. Lots of cool shops and eats but didn't have enough time to check them out. The last stop was Graham Avenue Meats and Deli but do not fear vegetarians for they have eggplant parmesean and veggie delight sandwiches. It was good and right off the L so you only have to walk a few blks from the station.

Too many things to do and see in such a short amount of time but that is always the case. I would rather take a little something than nothing.
