Sunday In New York City

Waiting for a Train
Well the  rain did not stop us from hitting the road to New York City with friends I recently met in Philly.
Our plan was to pay a visit to the 9-11 memorial  and after that to look for a good deli to eat afterwards.  We were going to do some shopping (well I got a belt) to  a store called
We went to the 9-11 Memorial first. The rain held off long enough to see it. I was real cool. Seeing the original location, I was stunned at seeing the gaping holes where the twin towers once stood against the blue September sky.
At the 9-11 Memorial
The Latest Weather
We had fun but boy its pricey to go there even if you do not shop much. We went to Katz Deli on E Houston Street and the sandwiches were FANTASTIC but the service did pretty much suck. One of the people with us got the bitterest coffee EVER.
Rockefeller Center
It smelled like left over SANKA!. We asked if it was a fresh pot and they said YES.. Then the no so nice waitress complained to another customer about us mocking the coffee. We all liked out food. My sandwich was GRREAT! It was a garlic sausage with fried onions and melted Swiss Cheese The Price for my sandwich and 2 Cokes was $20 bucks. . The Reuben Sandwich was rated excellent as well.
North on the NJ Turnpike
Next we went to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas display and tree. Man that is one HUGE tree. Its a beautiful sight and we took pictures of this. The rain held off enough to allow us to walk around all day without an umbrella though it was pretty damp.
We all came back from the trip to NYC in one piece, tired but glad we make the trek to see a unique place in the United States!
I did the driving back afer a break at the Thomas Edison rest stop in Woodbridge on the turnpike. I We got home safely and we all got along well. It was something different for sure☀
