I returned last night from a very long weekend in New York City with my daughter M and granddaughter E. It was fabulous. I will write about it soon, but today I am just going to post some photos. We went because E was taking a three day acting workshop in the Theatre District. We were constrained to Midtown for a variety of reasons, so we didn't do all the NYC tourist things, but we did go to 3 musicals (Dear Evan Hansen, Cats, and Sunset Boulevard). I loved all the busy storefronts, building embellishments, vertical lines, street scene depth. There were bagels, scones, pubs, Junior's cheesecake, NY style pizza. Anyway, here are some NYC photos.
P.S. today I am going on a diet.

Looks like a fabulous trip. On my bucket list for sure. Can't wait to hear the details.
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteI really enjoyed these! The Times Square picture is bizarre. My husband and I LOVE live theatre and I would love to visit New York one day to see some shows. And meet Angela at 37 Paddington. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them. You should definitely visit NYC. It is a monster city and endlessly entertaining.
DeleteThree musicals in three days! That's something else. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe arrived Friday and left Tuesday, but still - I was theater-ed out by the time we left. I almost fell asleep towards the end of the first act of Cats. Luckily they sang loud.
DeleteIt's a wonderful city, but it bustles too much for me. I need to hold someone's hand.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! I kept running after M & E, everyone was moving so fast.
DeleteI so enjoyed the art and architecture. These are great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWonderful pictures, it was exciting to look at them. I've never seen NY like this, it's even better than I imagined. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI think NY visitors probably always require a diet afterwards.
Unfortunately, we were constrained to the midtown area - which isn't really the best of NYC. But it certainly occupied our time for the duration. SO many interesting things to see.
DeleteIt's my home town! Love the pictures and look forward to your travelogue. I am always interested in what people find interesting in the city.
ReplyDeleteAnd kudos to your granddaughter. What a great opportunity for her.
Your home town! So interesting. Yes, my granddaughter is an lucky girl with a real passion for acting.'
DeleteWow! I haven't been to NYC in so many years. It's fantastic to see these gorgeous photos. What a wonderful journey into the full streets and high rises of a busy beautiful city!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun.
DeleteThree musicals in such a short visit - wow! Those pics are great. NYC is like a different planet from FL!
ReplyDeleteSure is. Especially the part where we were staying.
