NYC

We had a great time in NYC. The boat basin is about 8 blocks west of Central Park. Goliath got to go for some long walks and we did some sight seeing. We got to visit the 5th Avenue Apple store.

What a place! It is open 24/7 and was absolutely full of people. Goliath got to go into Tiffany’s and a few other stores and also got a horse and buggy ride!

We were wandering around and noticed a crowd gathering near the Ed Sullivan Theater (David Letterman Show) so of course we had to join in. Turns out Faith Hill and Alec Baldwin were due to show up. Faith showed up in her limo and quickly ducked into the back door. We could hear her warming up inside. Everyone was now waiting for Alec Baldwin, who almost entered unnoticed as he walked down the middle of the street and into the back door. Well we figured that was it but then the staff started organizing one of Dave’s outdoor deals so we stuck around. We got to see Biff, Allan Kalter, Pat Farmer and Rupert G.

We were in the background as they shot a segment on parallel parking in New York. It was quite funny as no one got near to the curb. Alec Baldwin came out and almost took out he grille on one of the cars and finally parked it perpendicular to and over the curb.

Our friend Dori, from Madison, gave us the tour of her old haunts in Queens and Flushing. We had a great time but she gaves us a gift we didn’t need. Mary now has a sinus infection and feels like crap.

On our last day we took the subway back downtown and picked up our mail from Pete Dodenhoff, a fellow O’day owner. Thanks Pete! We did a little more sight seeing and retired to do some laundry. We know how to have fun!

Famous haunted Central Park West building (Ghostbusters).
We left Saturday morning for Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. Pretty foggy so no great shots of the city as we left but got to see Lady Liberty and Ellis Island up close.
