::  Cathy & I celebrated our 5 yr anniversary with a long weekend in New York City  ::

We stayed at Trump Int'l Hotel at Columbus circle on South Central Park

A view from our room across central Park

A view out of our room looking at South Central Park

A view looking down at Columbus Circle

We took a walk from 59th street up to ~70th street enjoying the spring air in central park

 

Then we snapped a few pictures of Times Square as taxis had me in their crosshairs

We had dinner at Sardi's...

...and then caught the Broadway show Wicked

We loved it!!

On Saturday we waited in line at 9am for the ferry to the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

We're on our way...

...to see Lady Liberty

Looking back at the city

The Empire State Building

The registration room at Ellis Island

After visiting battery park we walked up to where the Trade center was. In front of the 3 buildings is where World Trade Center buildings 1 & 2 once stood

The 4 story craters...

... from where they will build the Freedom Tower

We then walked over to Little Italy through China town

To end the day we had pre-dinner drinks at Da Silvano's in Greenwich Village prior to our dinner at Churrascaria Plataforma in Tribeca.
