New York {Day 2}

**Warning, this post is full of random pictures, they are in the order I saw them, I have more photos that would make this post make a little more sense, I just have to figure out how to get them up-loaded off the camera disk**


Day 2 started in Central Park, wait.. back up. Day 2 actually started with breakfast at Zabar's. Honestly, I think I ate my weight in Croissants, so after eating that little calorie packed pastry of goodness we hit to the pavement to walk around central park!

As we got to the other side I started pointing out all my "dream" houses, like this one:


All these houses, Embassy's are along Central park on the East side. Amazing.


This is a tire sculpture at the corner of the park, it's a bunch of tires... very odd, but kinda interesting!

And next.. the Apple Store... All you can see is that apple floating in a glass bldg, it's not until you get closer that you realize the apple store is under your feet. They had a glass elevator that takes you down, or you can take the glass spiral stair case. Very cool, and my phone appreciated the stop. I ran down my battery at least twice a day, which poses a problem when you are in the coolest city in the world!

Right next to the Apple store is FAO Schwartz, the biggest TOY store, had to go in, of course!

Here is a picture from the inside, I felt like I was standing on the traffic.

My Mom and I both noticed that there were LOTS of little babies in strollers, and it wasn't until I was in the elevator heading down that I realized everyone of those babies was with their nannies. :)
Trump Tower: No, Mr. Comb-over did not make an appearance :)
Right around the Corner from Trump Tower is Rockefeller center... And here is the Tree, getting ready for the holidays
Here is my brother Chad, he met up with us for an hour during the day and showed us around Rockefeller Center and Times Square.
This was the view from his Hotel Room, LUCKY! :)

After a short break at Chad's hotel we hit the streets again, This time we head towards Radio City Music Hall.
And Anthropologie... yay!






The front of Rockefeller Plaza, or otherwise known as 30rock!

Then the inevitable happened.... Barb found herself in a Museum (I know right!) But it was only fair that I do some things on my Mom's list, and actually it wasn't half bad. We walked through the MoMA, (Museum of Modern Art) it was cool how they had their displays laid out, and as a bonus it kept us out of the poring rain!

Here is the one shot of Van Gogh that I took, I have more pictures, I just have to figure out how to get them off this little zip card thingy.
After the MoMA, we head towards Time Square to meet up with Chad, but first, a stop into the M&M store to bring home a souvenir for the kids :)
Then we walked over to NBC Studios, it was fun seeing all the places where one of my favorite movies was filmed, Morning Glory. This is the ceiling at NBC

Rockefeller Plaza in the rain! The Skating rink looks more like a swimming pool. We had dinner in the basement at a steak sandwich shop.. YUM!
Then onto the Lego store... My brother literally has millions of legos. It was a must stop for him, and I had to go just so I could log into Foursquare to get the points of being there :)

After that we head back down to Time Square, then home. LOTS to see tomorrow!
