New York #3


Saturday was a fill-in day while we waited for it to be time to go home. We walked from our hotel to Radio City Music Hall and to 30 Rockefeller Plaza. We also stopped at a street fair and wandered around a little. There was cool ethnic street food to be had and we all sampled a little bit.

This is the front of "30 Rock". It is quite an impressive building. They give tours but they are long and we didn't want to take the time. Lots to do and see on our last day.

This statue is part of the Plaza. Rockefeller believed in putting art in places where it could be enjoyed by the public. So the Plaza was an amazing sight. Flags from every nation encircle it. In the winter they ice skate on the Plaza.

Here we are in Little Italy enjoying a wonderful meal on the side of the street. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. I even found a bakery and bought some biscotti to eat and take back to Barb and Rhonda.

Our final image, taken after our ride on the Statten Island ferry and our Italian lunch is the Manhattan skyline taken in Central Park. It was amazing to see the City enjoy their one major green-space on a Saturday afternoon. Every square patch of grass was being utilized. It is a beautiful park.

We flew home uneventfully but didn't arrive in Cedar City until almost 4:00 AM. Sunday was long, but it was a great trip.
