New York (cont)

Here are a few more photos taken from my recent trip to New York. Basically, we ate and drank our way across the City. My kind of vacation! The beer was okay. Remember, I live in the beer capitol of the United States! Two of the better places that we grabbed a pint were at the Brooklyn Brewery and McSorley’s Old Ale House. McSorley’s was established in 1854 and is argued to be the oldest bar in NYC. Abe Lincoln has had a brew in this place! (first photo) The food in the city was awesome though. I think the best place we ate was at a BBQ restaurant called Brother Jimmy’s in the Upper East Side. It was decorated in license plates and Christmas lights, but stunk of ACC basketball. What didn’t stink was my pulled pork sandwich and side of homemade mac & cheese. My mouth is watering… We walked through Central Park on our way to Rockefeller Center. All three of these photos were taken over Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir. The park was beautiful. I’m sure offers vastly different scenes and feelings throughout the seasons. I would love to see it in winter. We saw our only famous person, or “FP” as my friends refers to them, just as we were exiting Central Park. Maria Carey was filming a video outside of the Fairmont Hotel. I wasn’t really stunned to see her, but I was bit bewildered in that she’s still making music. Didn’t I dance to her songs in 7^th grade?  Are Boys to Men still filming videos in Philadelphia? Oops, I meant Boyz to Men. Clearly the “z” means your not messing around.   The last shot is another view of the arch at Washington Square Park.
