The Park has entertainers everywhere you turn and they kept us occupied but eventually we hopped on a downtown bus for a delicious dinner at a place called Basta Pasta (go there!), then took a cab back toward Grand Central.
But first my cousins insisted we see Chelsea Market and taste all the flavored olive oils and specialty salts. I splurged on a small jar of Murray River salt, which I later found out is from Australia!
and here I am waiting for the train.
We went to Mass at St. Patrick's,

It looks like a lovely day! The weather looks like it must have been fantastic for shopping!
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful and sunny, though quite breezy. A good day for much walking!
DeleteWhat a wonderful day. The closest I've ever been to the east coast is Texas when I was 10 years old. No, wait. There are picture of me in Hawaii when I was 3. Hmm.

DeleteWow, those photos are spectacular! I love NYC--such an exciting place to visit. I've always wanted to go to Mass at St. Patrick's : )
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a fabulous day!
