And there was soooo much more that we packed into a 10 hour day of walking. Instead of boring you with an hour by hour itinerary, we thought we'd share a few pics. Enjoy!!!
The NY Skyline
Saks Fifth Avenue- AHHHH!
Publishing Company!
Ground Zero
St. Patrick' s Cathedral
Horse and buggy in Central Park
The famous library from Ghostbusters!
Times Square :)

And there are so many more pics that we took!!! It was an exhausting, yet, exhilarating experience. Have you been to NYC? If so, what'd you do/see there? If not, do ya wanna visit one day??

Oooh, JEALOUS! It's been far too long since I was in NYC.
Have they started building anything at Ground Zero yet? I would think now would be a good time.

Oh, I love New York! I'm glad y'all had a great time! Where did y'all stay?
Bear and I spent 2 days in NYC in 09 - we didn't get to do much touristy stuff, but we rode the subway, walked around Chinatown, Canal St., Tribeca, stuff in that area. We visited the 9/11 museum on (I think) Liberty St. and took a tour of the area surrounding Ground Zero with a guide who'd lost 4 friends in the Towers. :( It was extremely emotional. We also saw The Lion King on Broadway (AMAZING!!!!!!) and saw a Rays @ Yankees game, which was so cool since it was the inaugural season of New Yankee Stadium.
BUT - no Statue of Liberty, no Garment district, no Seredipity's, no MoMA - yeah, we totally need to take another trip to NYC!
I loves the NYC! :) I went there for the summers when I was a kid. Much more cleaner and less dangerous now though! LOL.
Last time I went was in 2006 in June and it was da BOMB! I needs to go back!
You HAVE to go to the Hersey store in Times Square and American Girl too! :)
Is it sad that a hot dog and pizza both feature on my list of things to do in NYC? Sounds/looks like you guys had a great time!

Two YA writers and not a picture in the Scholastic Store? What's wrong with you???
Glad you ladies had an awesome time.
@ Alicia--wait a minute, the Scholastic Store??? What is this wonderful place that you speak of. We MISSED it?!!

Oh I'm so jealous of you ladies...but it looks like you had a blast!
One question, though...um, where's a photo of said "underwear clad" models?
I'm glad you had a great time in the place I call home! :)
@ Jamie- there was a lady with a HUGE head in my way everytime I tried to take a pic of the models-- needless to say me and Pam were pissed! It was for Jockey underwear...those guys, YUM!
Looks like so much fun! When I was little my parents would take me to FAO Schwartz and it was like Christmas. I'm pretty sure we cried when we had to leave. Since I live further away now, I like to catch a show when I'm there. And shop, of course.
Okay, so I just SCOURED the pictures and found nothing including the underwear clad male models... What GIVES?
Otherwise, it looks like a fabulous trip :)
I'm so happy you guys had a blast! I used to live in NY and still go there frequently because I have A LOT of family there. Love Times Square. :)
