We went to NYC last weekend. Just some random thoughts/experiences:
I saw this guy (on the left) on the subway:
If you do not know who he is (and I cannot believe I can remember this crap), click here:
YouTube - Ian Benardo: American Idol "Superstar"
We did see the obligatory drunk man peeing on the stairway in the subway--my 12 year old son was quite amused, I was horrified.
This guy was quite entertaining at the Times Square subway station (click on photo to view film):
We went to the Yankees game on Friday night, naturally A-Rod hits #500 in the first inning on Saturday!
Missing the Twin Towers
Adam enjoyed the Statue of Liberty cruise (much calmer than the ferry to Cozumel!)
Times Square was bustling
If you go, go to Strawberry Fields in Central Park, a memorial for John Lennon
For some reason, people were asking me for directions on the subway (I am not a New Yorker!). Must just be my attitude (is that a good thing?). Anyhow, it is a small world, one guy that asked for directions has a son at Notre Dame (near our home), and another guy was from my HOMETOWN, and graduated from the same high school three years after me. Only in New York!
