Prospect Park
We totally got the audio tour on Liberty and Ellis Island. We should have felt touristy/dorky but we didn't care at all. The information and stories were so cool. I loved Ellis Island, the building was beautiful and you could feel the stories of so many people.
Pizza stop #1 Lombardi's. According to them it's the first pizzeria of America
Fountain at Bryant Park
NYC Library, it was spectacular inside. Makes my little Lake Hazel branch look silly.
Outside The Met. We saw a cool exhibit with Prada and Schiaparelli, incredible clothes. And then we visited the standards, Monet, Manet, Picasso, VanGogh. And then we searched for an hour looking for food. And then we were all exhausted and left. That place is huge, right?
Kakie's rooftop
Our morning stop, this particular morning we got huge bagels with a ton of cream cheese. We were ALL boring and got plain bagels with strawberry cream cheese.
Waldy's, so so good. Most of us ended up getting roasted asparagus with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella. They have a side table with fresh herbs you just pick and throw on. Seriously.
Doughnut Plant in Chelsea. We each got TWO! My choice was toasted coconut with filling and Tres Leche.
Central Park. It is just what you imagine only way way bigger. It was so lush and green during our visit. And we dawdled around this fountain forever waiting for some little girls to do a dance recital but we got hungry so...
Everywhere you look.
Last day spent at Prospect Park talking, eating chocolate covered almonds (mainly me), chocolate covered cinnamon bears (everyone else) and licorice. We brought games and didn't even pretend to play one. We took turns sticking our legs in the sun.
I don't remember if this is the beginning or end of the Brooklyn Bridge, but we walked it. Then got more pizza at Grimaldi's. It may be my favorite it may be when I was the hungriest. We won't know till next time.
Kakie's stoop on our last night.
