NEW YORK CITY - So Burke and I went to NYC a couple of weeks ago and I am just now getting around to making a post. Bryce and Shae were nice enough to play host for the weekend and also acted as tour guides - thanks guys!
We packed a lot into four days but managed to see everything that we wanted to. In addition to the sights pictured below, we went to the following: the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, China Town, Little Italy, Soho, Greenwich Village, Fifth Avenue, Central Park, the Manhattan Temple, Grand Central Station, the United Nations, Radio City Music Hall, Ground Zero, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS PROMENADE - This walkway is across the East River from Manhattan and offers great views of the skyline. It leads to the Brooklyn Bridge, which we walked across into the City. We also saw John Lithgow strolling along the promenade. Below is a picture of us with Bryce and Shae .
DOWNTOWN SKYLINE - This is a picture of the skyline taken from Bryce and Shae's apartment rooftop in Brooklyn - an amazing view!
UPTOWN SKYLINE - Here is a view of the skyline taken from the Brooklyn Bridge. The Empire State Building is on the left and the Chrysler Building is on the right.
STATUE OF LIBERTY - I'm not sure this picture needs much of an explanation. It was taken from the Staten Island Ferry.
BROADWAY - We went to "Mama Mia" on Broadway. The show was amazing!
YANKEE STADIUM - This is the last year to see a baseball game at Yankee Stadium before they move to their new home next door. The Yankees lost to the Tigers 8-4.
CONEY ISLAND - We took the subway out to Coney Island and walked the boardwalk. Burke ate a "Coney Dog" from Nathan's Famous (where they hold the hot-dog-eating championship). Below is a picture of me in front of the Atlantic Ocean.
TIMES SQUARE - This place is crazy - so many people all over the place. We saw the Naked Cowboy (some random guy playing guitar in his underwear) and stood outside the TRL studio. We also ate at the ESPN Zone at Times Square. Here is a picture of Burke pretending that he's Puff Daddy.
WALL STREET - We walked all over the financial district and saw the New York Stock Exchange and the place where George Washington was sworn in as President. And of course we had to get a picture in front of the famous bull.
