Happy Thursday pretties!!! I don’t know about you but this week has flown by for me!! Yesterday I told you all about my first day in NYC and today I am covering day 2. Get ready for a NYC photo explosion!!
I started out the day with a selfie of course, because NYC!
First up we walked from our hotel to Grand Central Station. I took a wrong turn somewhere and wound up leading us into a random side door so poor Libby didn’t get the full effect but it is still magical place. I love love love Grand Central Station!!
After GCS we went to Bryant Park. This is my favorite park in NYC!!
It’s right by the library so of course we had to pop in there. I am a huge Sex and the City fan and I had to go stand on the steps where Carries stood when she found out Big was skipping out on her. Boooo on him. I still loved the library though!!
We went to lunch at Ichi Umi after the library. Ichi Umi has a huge all you can say sushi buffet and it is my fave!! It was $18 for lunch, you just can’t beat that!!
While still in our sushi coma we found our next tour bus stop and hopped on. We were going to go to the Empire State Building but there was a huge wait time, maybe next time? So instead we went to see the site of the World Trade Center. Last time I was in NYC it was still being built so I was so glad to see the monuments and Freedom Tower. We were going to tour the museum but again the line was forever long. Sad day.
After seeing the monuments we hopped back on our bus and just rode for a little bit. I got another shot of Freedom Tower…
…and got to see the Hudson River.
It rained for a few minutes and we were on top of the double decker so of course I had to get a rainy selfie!
We rode the bus back to Times Square and did a little shopping…
That night we crashed hard in our hotel room and ordered an authentic NYC pizza. This thing was HUGE!! And amazing!!
The next morning we got up early and packed our bags to head to the next city on our road trip. before we headed out we white girled out and stopped at Starbucks and got a drink. Our hotel was next door to the Times Square Starbucks and it was HUGE!!
And then we were off to our next city…
Can you guess where we went next??
What is your favorite thing about NYC??
I love NYC. I am only about a 3 hour drive from there, so we go down all the time. It’s one of my favorite cities.
I never been to NY, well I did go to the airport a couple of times, but that doesn’t count :) I love the pictures I am all about taking photos everywhere I go. Thanks for sharing…. :)
Your pictures are fantastic! NYC is one place I would love to go. I lived on the east coast when I was younger but never got to check out New York.
I have been to NY a few times, and Grand Central Station is impressive to say the least! New York is an awesome place to explore there is SO much to do there!
I haven’t been to NYC since I was 8 years old. I saw a few of the major attractions but apparently there are a bunch that I need to return to see. What a beautiful and lively city!
It sounds like you had a great time. I’ve been to NYC several times, and I never get tired of it.
Seeing grand central station is definitely a must when visiting NYC. It’s awesome that you guys were able to see so much in a single day.
I love how you shot the photos in different angles. It looks like you had a wonderful time in NYC.
Eek, I’m going to NYC later this year and you’re making me even more excited! Also that pizza looks TO DIE FOR!!!!
I love your smile.. I never been to NYC.. i would love to visit, maybe during christmas/new year. I love Sushi too :) We just had sushi for dinner 3 days ago
I just love NYC! I am happy you enjoyed your trip there too. Whenever I am in the area, I make it a point to drop by the National Sept. 11 museum. There are so many words you wish you could say, but instead, you’d just stand there in silence.
What a great NYC trip! For sure you will truly cherish every moment of it.
Aaah New York, New York, New York!! Your photos are beautiful, pretty sure you had a blast! There’s so much to do and explore in NY!
I love seeing these familiar photos of NYC. I’m a native New Yorker. Looks like you had a great time. Hmm, maybe your next city was Philly?
I love how you walk us through your road trip. I fell like I am traveling with you. Beautiful photos especially the hudson river shot!
I adore NYC!!! I’ve been twice and I always feel the electric in the air when I’m in the city! Love love love it! We live in such a rural area so I don’t think I could ever LIVE in a big city like NYC, but I sure do love to visit! I can’t wait to go back.
I’ve never been to NYC before. Looks really fun and it looks like your having a great time! =)
There’s a hundred things to love NY. I got my eyes on the Freedom Tower. I would love to visit this beautiful place next year
Looks like you went to Salem next? Beautiful shots of NYC. I’ve had chicago pizza and it was amazing. I need to go to NYC and try theres!
I did go to Salem next!! That post will be up soon…
I love how the sky reflects on that one building. Beautiful shot! I’d love to visit NYC someday!
I love your blog! I visited NYC for the first time in June with my 18 year old daughter and we had an amazing time. I look forward to reading more of your blog entries!
I love NYC! I am planning a trip in October and this just got me even more excited! Looks like you had a great time!
It looks like you had such a great time. I love visiting NY it’s such a great place.
NYC is just amazing to visit! I am about an hour away, maybe next time you come to NYC we can meet up! I love NYC SO much, and the Freedom tower is really amazing.
Wow! Those are stunning photographs of your trip! Makes me miss New York so much! Hope I get to visit real soon. :) Thanks for sharing!
