The Big Apple! New York City!



After visiting Elisa's sister, Jessica, and her husband, Bryan, in Washington DC, the four of us took the train up to New York City. While there we took in all the sights and sounds of the Big Apple. We rode around the city on a double-decker tour bus, visited Times Square, took a walk through Central Park, and saw the Empire State Building and Ground Zero. Plus we visited China Town and Little Italy, and got some great New York pizza at Bella Napoli's. We also ate at the world famous Carnegie Deli - one pastrami sandwich fed all four of us! Then we got some New York style cheesecake that was out-of-this-world good. One of our favorite places to visit was the FAO Schwartz toy store, where we played on the giant piano just like the movie BIG. Next, we went to the Hershey's and M&M's stores in Times Square. Probably the highlight of the trip was seeing Phantom of the Opera on Broadway - unbelievable!
