And then there was the subway art. I loved seeing what each new stop held, mostly mosaics, as well as live subway performers. One stop had a very eccentric man [black wispy hair and Michael Jackson moves] with what looked like a home-made electric violin-type of instrument.
Random art on buildings: gold figures crawling up this one.
Levain Bakery--you'd pass right by it if you didn't know what you were looking for--which we did because they have 6 oz cookies! Ryan's fave.
This subway stop had converted the women's restroom into a newsstand. Caught ya dad!
I liked this yellow building
Times square, of course!

Pearl River Mart is HUGE [with a basement] and full of rare and unusual sundries. We bought the kids some chopsticks that look like colored pencils.
Which hat

My dad made a sharp purchase [not the scissors, though]
Ryan shopped 'til he dropped.
You never know what we'll do to you while sleeping....
Our last breakfast in the big apple was here
where we discussed
how they ought to have seasonal butter
to change things up. Like pumpkin spice butter in the fall!
We enjoyed their huge popovers
and their Mexican hot chocolate with chili oil and cinnamon!!
A city that will always have something to look at.
Our last meal together consisted of a cold noodle dish and fortunes.
And since, percentage wise, most our meals were eaten here, one more photo at Sullivan
We parted to go our different ways and New York left us with a beautiful parting gift of her skies as we boarded our plane.
