New York City

So i just got back from NYC two days ago. The internet at the hotel didnt allow me to upload pics so i will now make a rather long blog entry to recap the highlights.

TIme Square
Got there the first night before it started to rain. Snapped some pics on the way.



Kats Deli
Went to Kat'z Deli for lunch the next day. Its a very well known deli in NYC that has been in business for over 100yrs. THe wall of the place is filled with pictures of famous folks who have eaten there in the past (Fat Joe, Judge Judy, Nick Lachey, Mayor Guiliani, Ron Jeremy, Casts of Law&Order, Mike Myers, etc) just to name a few. The Philly Cheesesteak was pretty good but the best part was the pastrami sandwich. I can easily say its the best pastrami I've ever had and would take it over a steak anyday. Unfortunately, their prices were quite expensive





Grand Central Station
There were always police patrolling the place and there were men from the Army standing at every big entrance. Its my first time ever seeing a real assault riffle.


Rockafeller Center


American Museum of Natural History
Yup, its the one in "Night at the Museum". The place was HUGE and there were so much to see. I could literally spend a few days there if i actually took in all the educational info they had.




IHOP
Finally tried out one of Michael Scott's favourite places to eat



Macy's in Manhattan
Located at 7th Ave and 34th St, one of the biggest departments stores in the world and definitely one of the biggest I've ever been in. Oh, they also had wooden escalators...



Wall Street Charing Bull


Dunkin Donuts
A breakfast sandwich made with waffles... doesnt get anymore amerikan than that



Ex-World Trade Center


Grimaldi's Pizzeria
Legend has it that when Frank Sinatra was in Vegas, he had Grimaldi Pizza flown out to him because it was that good. Located under the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn, its a "Must" for anybody visiting New York. Name 1 of the top 5 pizza places in the United States by the food network, their pizza's are exceptional in taste because of their coal oven and their use of fresh ingredients. Prices are also very reasonable.




The NBC Experience Store
Before i left, i visited the NBC Experience Store beside the Rockafeller building. Couldnt resist buying some "The Office" merchandise.



Thats all for now. The rest of the pics can be seen here.
