New York City!

We got back from New York late last night. It was amazing! We loved the city. We spent the days visiting companies such as Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan Chase, Barclays, and Fitch Ratings just to name a few. At night we tried to squeeze in as much as we could. We ended up seeing all that we had planned. We have so many pictures and put a few on here. By a few we mean more than most of you probably want to see. Take a look!

Day One

Times Square

Mounted Police

Radio City Music Hall

NBC Studios where shows like 30 Rock and SNL are filmed

NY Pizza- so good!

Rockefeller Center

NBA Headquarters

The Plaza Hotel as seen in Home Alone 2

Frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity's!

St. Patrick's Cathedral


Mel at Rockefeller Center


Day Two

Grabbin a quick bite in between appointments

The Chrysler Building

Central Park

Ridin the subway

View of Central Park

View of the Financial District with the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island to the right


The Milford Plaza was our hotel and the Majestic Theater is where Phantom plays so this shot gives you an idea of how close we were to everything.

We got to see Phantom!

In the theater


At the Hershey's store on Broadway


Busy Times Square

Real New York Cheesecake!

Day Three

A view of the Manhattan Temple

Manhattan Temple (we were in such a hurry to get to our next appointment that we couldn't get the best shot- but it works)

There is this great burger joint called the Shake Shack that we ate at in between appointments. The line wrapped around a good portion of the park it was located in.

A view of the Statue of Liberty while on the Staten Island Ferry

Not such a bullish market right now

Wall Street


Another view of the New York Stock Exchange

This is a shot of Ground Zero. I know you can't tell from the picture, but the area that is left empty is astounding. It is pretty incredible to see all this open space in the middle of downtown Manhattan. It gave us an idea as to how massive those buildings were.

Chinatown

Ice skating at Rockefeller Center


Isn't she so cute! I love her!


Eating a gyro. Needless to say Melissa wouldn't try the street vendor food :) Hot dogs and gyros just aren't her thing.


Times Square

Day Four



This shot of the Statue of Liberty and Financial District was taken from the Brooklyn Bridge.

My goodness, what a trip! You must have scooted around like you were on skate boards :-) Great pictures.

We love New York too and it is Uncle Jeff's favorite place. Would like to spend another Christmas there sometime.

Great trip! Now, I want to go back and go ice skating. That looked like a lot of fun. Cute kids, you are (do I sound like Yoda or is it late?) Love, Aunt Kris

I am so stinking jealous!! I want to see Phantom sooo Bad. THAT IS SO AWESOME THOUGH! I think that if Clint and I tried to do that much we would be exhausted the first two days. Plus we would probably get lost trying to find everything.

Sara Birch said...

WOW! What a fun trip! Gotta love China Town...Carson was called "whitie" there. So jealous you got to see Phantom!

Christy said...

You two must be exhausted. It looks like you had a blast.

Take care.

How exciting. I have been dying to go to New York forever. I can't believe how much you packed into a few days. Seeing Phantom in NY - can it get any better than that?
