Live from Easthampton Massachusetts: Random pictures of NYC

This picture I took thinking of my son Joey............the internet wiz!!

You'd better have alot of $$$$ to stay at this hotel!!

Nightsights in NYC. This is where Good Morning America broadcasts and Nightline with Diane Sawyer. Sorry to say while we were there we didn't see her.

While in New York, Cher and I went and saw the Broadway Production of Mamma Mia. It was great! funny! and a blast! All the old Abba tunes were played and sung in the production . If you get to NYC I recommend............go and see it!

The Color Purple is being played on Broadway.

The Empire State Building. Cher and I didn't go to the Empire State building on this trip, there was just so much to see and do in 3 days..............this will be on another trip.

Some of the beautitful detailed hand scuptured work on some of the older buildings in NYC. This is not done anymore, as the unique handcrafting ability by the craftsmen were Europeans, and they went back home after completing their job here in NYC. The trade was not passed down to anyone that remained in NYC, thus this beautiful detailed work is not done anymore. But NYC is proud to have some of it's older buildings with this artwork and preserves it.

Reflections of a building on a building

The dancing water fountain in NYC. The kids got a kick out of it!

A group of students on a field trip to the Statue of Liberty. They all bought their hats and had their picture taken with Lady Liberty (see her holding the flag sitting down?)

Cher and I at one of the resturants in New York City, it is called "Frankie and Johnny's" it was recommended by one of the employees at our hotel, the Hotel Edison.
The food was great but VERY expensive! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone touring NYC. Cost charged per meat, vegetable, salad, pasta, ect. Everything was priced individually...........$$ But hey, how often do I get to NY anyway?

THE CHOCOLATE place in New York City! Do you believe I didn't go in there??? Cool storefront huh?

I took this picture of the city as we were going over the Brooklyn Bridge into Brooklyn .

Sights of Chinatown

A trip through Chinatown was great too! The smells of all the foods cooking, all the oriental decorations, and a statue of one of the founders of Chinatown.

One of the MANY street vendors in New York City.

Part of the sight seeing tour was a visit to Harlem. It is not what it once was.........down trodden, dirty, crime ridden.........delapadated buildings. Everything is being revitalized and is so pretty! Nice new buildings, the streets are clean and the people are so friendly.

Carriage rides throughout the city were a common sight.

The "Lady" out in New York Harbor. Cher and I didn't do the cruise out to Ellis Island, that will be on a future trip! There is just so much to do and see in New York, there is NO WAY you can just see it all in 3 days.

Can you tell who is the cute one? :) This is the famous Bull in NYC

A cross Tribute to the fallen people at the Twin Towers of 9/11. The cross was made of beams from the rubble of the Twin Tower buildings.

This is the only way to see all of New York City! Cher and I took 2 days of doing the "tourist" thing on the top of one of these buses. It was so cool! you could see everything, and the weather was perfect, we even got a little sunburn :)
