out & about in nyc, part two

Here is the lovely little store/deli right on the corner near

our hotel, for all your needs whether it be fruit, flowers or sandwiches

Bill's Piano Bar is a cool place right across from

our hotel and has a bit of history

St Patricks Cathedral on Fifth Ave. is stunning

Hello Kitty made a surprise visit on Park Ave.

The Plaza is a gorgeous hotel and has one MAJOR PLUS

It happens to be right next to my fave place - Central Park

Another place I love to go to is the gorgeous Rockefeller Plaza
the flags make it look so festive and always puts a smile on my face.

and it has such wonderful, inspiring architecture!

As I've only seen Rockefeller Plaza in the summer, this

was a welcome sight!

The beautiful Paley Park 

This was one of our first stops after we got into NYC - it was a weekend

filled with baseball games and this is the place to hang out, chat

and watch the games, or so our front desk man at our hotel told us and

we were not disappointed.  Pubs have the best characters to converse

with, as I travel with quite the character we always meet interesting people!

Our main reason for going to NYC was to go to this Notre Dame vs.

Navy Football game - sadly our team ND lost but it was awfully nice

looking at all the very well put together , handsome Navy men!

After the game, we had hopped on the wrong subway line,

but happened onto a cool Irish Pub and met a few really nice

people there.  They were holding a wedding reception in the

restaurant part in back and we met a really nice man that was

meeting a friend at Lincoln Center for a jazz concert.  That sounds

wonderful and something I would like to do on another trip.

They had some fun window's to peer into at

Bergdorf Goodmans

And last but not least I found my way down Katherine Hepburn Place, which is where she lived for over 60 years.  It was especially heartwarming for me, as a week before my friend Sally and I watched a one woman show about her life called Tea At Five - it was FABULOUS and highly recommended should it ever come to your neck of the woods.  Stephanie Zimbalist did a wonderful

job as Kate in her early years thru her older years.  I forgot I was watching a play, it was that fabulous!

And if you have a spare $27,500 a month - I read that

Kate Hepburns home is for rent.  If not, a stroll by it

will definitely be sufficient.

I love.love.love. New York City and it was so wonderful being able

to see it in a different season and autumn being the most wonderful!

I look forward to returning again and exploring and learning more

about the city!

I am a bit under the weather this week - 90+ degrees outside in November and air conditioning indoors makes for alot of people coming down with colds!

Have a good day everyone, stay healthy!
