We arrived on Thursday evening after a delay in Denver. We flew into LaGuardia and made our way via bus and subway to the hotel in Manhattan. After getting to the hotel we immediately turned around and went to dinner at Becco in the Theater District (we stayed in Chelsea).
Friday was a jam packed day for us. We went to the NY Public Library. Very cool building that we took a couple of hours to explore.
We took so many pictures all throughout the library (not in the quiet "library" part though)
The library also had a "Lunch Hour NYC" exhibit featuring New York lunch traditions throughout the years
Very interesting architecture throughout the building
Next, we went to the Museum of Natural History
Of course, we hit up the dinosaur exhibit. We also went to the Meteor exhibit (it was a popular exhibit on Friday!), North American Mammals, Human Origins, and a couple of others. There was WAY too much to see in one day.
As mentioned, we also did a lot of eating. Restaurants included Bare Burger, Pinto (Thai food), Stumptown Coffee, Da Andrea (Italian), and Wo Hop. The Mosers recommended Wo Hop and it did not disappoint. It was George's favorite by far. Pictures are below...
We did a ton of walking. At one point, I realized that we were right next to the Empire State Building!
Since it was sooo cold and windy, we drank a lot of warm coffee and tea!
Our hotel was just a few blocks from Madison Square Garden...
Got to love the NY parking lots!
Great, great, GREAT trip. We did not want to come home and get back to reality. I already want to plan our next trip back.
