Our holiday started with five days spent in the Big Apple.....what a great time we had!! I have never really desired to see New York, but since spending time there...I just LOVE it! We met our Ottawa friends Joan and Rick, and had a busy yet relaxing time together.
It was an absolutely gorgeous evening our first night there so Bob and I walked from our hotel, The Roosevelt at 45th and Madison, to Time Square just taking in the sights and sounds of the city. We went up to the Empire State Building after midnight to avoid the crowds...the city sparkled, the moon glowed....it was magical!
The next morning we met Joan and Rick and went to Central Park...had a relaxing coffee and danish, then rented bikes and toured around the park....as you can see we had a stunning day...just perfect. Before we left I had made reservations at the Boathouse in Central Park for lunch...it was elegant and very New York.....terrific experience!

I just love architecture...and I absolutely overdosed on it in NYC....Art deco everywhere, and so well looked after. Although the Empire State Building is very well known, I think I prefer the Chrysler Building for it's beauty.

Great pictures! We are headed there next month and are staying at the Roosevelt for a couple nights as well.
Looking forward to the other "parts" of your holiday.
We LOVED the hotel!! It is so convenient to everything....you will have a blast!! There is a street fair on Sunday morning along Madison...great knock-offs!
Wow, it looks like you had a blessed time with your friends and what better place then in New York! Glad that you are back as I read your blog on a regular basis.
