I'm BACK!
6 years ago
Took a few days off and took my mate to New York City! Didn't go up in any skyscrapers but we hiked a HELLuva lot! Between two days I think we walked over 12 miles.
Yes, did see the Central Park Zoo. Yes, watched them feed the penguins and later the sea lions, the sea lions had a program built around the feeding and was a lot of fun to watch. Went to the 4-D (yes, 4-D) theater and saw a really cute 3-D Pixar-quality short with the 4-D effects, a good time was had by all.
Walked through The Fashionable Upper West Side, hit some shops in Times Square including the Hershey's Store (her idea!).
Saw some street performance dancing. Hit the Hell's Kitchen area, Hudson Square and hiked through a good bit of the reclaimed and rehabilitated railroad.
Yes, we DID hit and Katz' Delicatessen and marked that off of my bucket list. Their claim to fame, being around for thousands of years and appearing in a scene in the movie When Harry Met Sally. Food good, yes! Food insanely overpriced, YES, nobody warned me! A pastrami sandwich -- oh, when you order, the cutter hands you samples on a plate to make sure you'll like it. Two pastrami on ryes, $28 apiece!. I wanted a Doctor Brown's, I drank water.
Still, had a good time!

Also, ghost tours, I'd love to go on some of those X3 I am fascinated by the paranormal.
The walking ghost tours were fun, the wife is into those too. And me, I grew up in a haunted house, no fooling!
XD so you're saying they were legit, or faked?
Their big claim to fame is in the movie When Harry Met Sally and the fake orgasm scene. If you ever saw it and remember the director's mother's cameo where she said "I'll have what she's having" you'd appreciate the sign hanging from the ceiling that says "Hope you had what she had"
Got the rest, got the recovery, now to get through a D&D game tomorrow evening and through my first day back to work Sunday
