New York, New York – October 2008

Luke and I were in New York last Fall for my birthday and to visit dear friends of ours.  It was our first trip to the Big Apple so we filled each day with sight-seeing but left plenty of time to relax and soak-in one of the most exciting cities in the world. 

Our first day was spent with friends, walking through Greenwich Village, the Meat Packing District and SOHO and dinner at the Fig and the Olive that evening.  On our first full day, Luke and I visited the Statue of Liberty which is an indescribable site.  We took-in the views at the observation deck of the Empire State building and Rockefeller Center, enjoyed cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery (for breakfast!) then went ice-skating at “30 Rock”, spent an entire day in Central Park including the Met and lunch at Tavern on the Green, went to the theater (twice – amazing), rode the subway including a stop at the bustling Grand Central Station and walked across the Brooklyn bridge. 

New York is truly a special place where anything is possible and the excitement of the city fills the air.  Here are the photos from our adventures in the Manhattan.
