Friday morning, another sleeping in day. Pam actually woke up before I did. We walked down to 34th and Broadway where we shopped at THE Macy's store. Pam bought a Tignanello leather purse. The store was massive, and almost too much to take in. It was very crowded with people from all over the world.
After Macy's, we made our way to the NY Public Library, the one with the giant lions guarding the entrance. The building, we discovered, was celebrating its centennial, and it was beautiful. The murals and fresco paintings reminded us of something you'd find at The Met.
After having fun at the library, we found a corner food stand and ate at Bryant Park. Pam had a Philly cheese steak and I had lamb gyro. The park itself was extremely crowded, appearing to be filled with school kids and office workers taking their lunch breaks. There were several different areas for free public games to be played, including a diverse group playing ping pong. Good lunch in a great atmosphere.
Pam and I then went back to the hotel to pack while we watched some of the Djokavich- Federer match, which Federer eventually won. We said good bye to the hotel, took a cab to La Guardia, and then said good bye to New York, at least for now.
This was an awesome trip and an excellent way to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. This won't be our last such trip, but it will be one of the most fun and special trips we've taken.
Here's to you, New York, New York!!!
