Trip to NYC
I’ve come to the realization that I’ve seen all the touristy things that I need to see in NYC. I’ve seen all the the touristy sites, I’ve done all the touristy tours and I’ve walked around all the touristy places. Now, I didn’t say that I’ve eaten at every place that I’d want to eat at (so when I go back I have plenty of places that I still need to explore – food wise)…but I honestly think I’ve seen everything that I have set out to see in the big city. I’ve been to NYC a number of times to visit and hang out with Ben. Hmmm…I was in NYC last year for a long weekend and I spent about 3 weeks in NYC for the holidays a few years back and…well I’ve been there three or four times before that too…so I really have had a chance to do and see a lot.
This trip was definitely on the slow side for me. I spent time just trailing the family around town and enjoyed the vacation at a somewhat slower pace than what I’m used to. Since I’ve been to NYC plenty of times, I left the vacation agenda up to the family and decided to just go with the flow. I know, very unusual for me. This has been our only family vacation of the year and it was nice to just be on vacation to hang with the family.
As you can tell from my pics, we enjoyed some of the touristy sites that NYC has to offer (and some sites we’ve seen before)…but also found time to trek out to Coney Island. I enjoyed visiting Coney Island (it’s the one place from my trip that I hadn’t been to before). And hello, Coney Dog…you have to go to the birth place of the hot dog to truly enjoy and appreciate a Nathan’s hot dog as it was meant to be enjoyed. The hot dog was decent and I had a good time.
Speaking of food, I finally made it to Shake Shack. In my last 2 visits to NYC, I had been unsuccessful in actually getting to enjoy a meal at the Shack. But this time…I made the time and was determined to enjoy a burger and a shake before the end of this trip. I don’t know if it was the long awaited anticipation, or standing in the long line to order or finally holding and tasting the food…but my burger and shake was truly amazing. The burger was everything I hoped it to be and the shake…well, when have I ever had a bad shake?
So overall, I had a good vacation. Haha…granted, all I’ve written about has been food. But hey, good food…always makes for a good vacation.
Enjoy my pics.
