NYC trip

We arrived in NYC to find a field of taxi's awaiting us...Literally there was a lot full of taxi's waiting to take people to the city.

For lunch we ate at a diner famous for their huge sandwiches. We arrived on St. Patricks day so we were also served these very green pickles!

Hence, the huge sandwiches.

Welcome to the big city!

We stopped by the Hershey store on Times Square and drooled over all the chocolate- just look at the size of this candy bar! No, we didn't buy it, kinda heavy for our luggage...

We also stopped at the M&M store in Times Square, where you can find every color imagineable. But the price? $12.99 lb.

See. Expensive!

Dinner was at a fun diner called Stardust Diner. The waiters and waitresses sing broadway tunes while they are waiting tables. It was so much fun there!!

Stopped at the huge 3 story Toys 'R' Us on Times Square and purchased tickets to ride the ferris wheel inside. Our tickets say " your ticket to fun!" So cheesy, but funny. We kept those tickets so we can pull them out later for our ticket to fun.
The toy store had a lego section- Jonah's favorite toy. They had a huge lego building of the empire state building, the statue of liberty and some other buildings. Jonah wanted this one.

Times Square! (the three of us)

One of many subway trips- hence the terrible lighting, can't help it.

There are open markets along the street, it's so great.

We saw a white pigeon roaming around.

Lots and lots of walking, my feet were so sore, I ended up taking my shoes off this day!

Nothing like greasy yummy, huge NY style pizza. Real pizza.

I found Belle and Boo cards in a cute artsy shop! I love her stuff, my sister and I read her blog!

We also had lunch one day here- it's the restaurant they used on Seinfield.

Quick trip to the Museum of Modern Art:
this is an Any Warhol

Seurat (famous for pointillism)

up close of Seurat's piece where you can see the dot pattern from his brush.

Finally saw it! Van Gogh's Starry Night. And it was actually a lot smaller than I thought.

Mondrian.

Pretty impressive- Monet's water lilies.

See how big Monet's piece is?

Dinner at an Italian place, delicious.

Our visit to FAO Schwartz- fabulous store! You have the option of personal shopping with a soldier :)

One of my favorite toys there- an elephant, so soft!

We went to see the West Side Story on Broadway.

Our fabulous sparkly view from the Empire State Building, so beautiful!

And it was very very windy!!!
