After the wedding extravaganza, we woke up and drove back to the city. I broke out in a sweat again once we came out of the tunnel. Yikes! Our TomTom lost its signal once we were in the city and left me stranded in a sea of honking and yellow cabs. Luckily I had thrown my tourist book in my purse and it served its purpose and then some. We made it back to AVIS and returned the car. Yay! Walking? Yes please!
Russ and Linda branched off and took a trip out to Liberty and Ellis Island for the day. Since Trev and I saw Lady Liberty last trip, we decided to stay and had lunch at Jean Georges. I did not think it was possible to have better food than we had already had on this trip, but boy was I wrong. Amazing. Pure and simple. We started off with crisps and goat cheese, cucumber soup with beet froth and a salmon/turnip/spicy thing that was delish. I had the asparagus salad and beef tenderloin and I had to hold back the urge to lick my plate. Trevor had a beet salad that I kept stealing bites from and then had the chicken and some type of tuna. He devoured it too. Once we were done, they brought out a cart with a huge marshmallow jar. They pull out a long strip of marshmallow and cut off square of it for you. Love. Perfectly fluffy perfection. Oh and they left some chocolate too. But the marshmallow took the cake. Until they brought out lavender macaroons. I had mine and Trevor’s. Yep, I am a little piggy.
We left with round bellies so we decided a stroll through Central Park was in order. It was fun to check out a different part of the park and it was packed! We strolled up to the Guggenheim. Very cool building and my favorite exhibit was by German artist Hans-Peter Feldmann. $100,000 tacked all over the room. You can see pics and read about the exhibit here.
Later that day we met up with Russ and Linda and the new Mr. & Mrs. Ragusa and enjoyed dinner at Gyu Kaku. Sarah recommended it and it was very yummy food and a cool dining experience. Our last stop of the trip was to the Top of the Rock. Our views were incedible and the company even better.
Three cheers to another fun trip to NYC!
