NYC Tour - Day 7 - The Last Day

[chalet05]

NYC Tour - Day 7, September 14, 2013 (Very rough draft. This is one that really needs the photos!!)

What a terrific day to end this tour!! We had a very competent bus driver tho he didn't have to fight a lot of traffic most of the day.
We started at a Hungarian Bakery for pastry and coffee.
St. John the Divine Cathedral was just across the street. The Cathedral gave me goose bumps it is so magnificent. James Gandolfini's funeral was held here. There was also a park with some great statuary.
We took a walk through part of Central Park. The park is manmade.
Lunch was in the basement of the AOL Time Warner Building at Whole Foods.
We were then let off the bus at the Plaza Hotel with some time to spare. Several of us went to the FAO Schwartz Toy Store - Fun!!
Next was a carriage ride through Central Park! Several wedding parties were having photos taken.
Dinner was at a Brazilian steakhouse. They bring various kinds of meat to your table on huge skewers and slice off whatever you want - very different. Their salad bar was unbelievable - no signs to tell you what you were dishing up.
Across the street was a bakery owned by the girl who plays Abby on NCIS. (yes, need the photos)
Now I need to get things ready to get back on the road tomorrow!

Wow. That was a day jam packed with fun stuff. You're hitting the road tomorrow? I'd need a day or two just to rest and relax.

Have enjoyed tagging along on your tour but doubt I could handle the pace any other way. Also happy for you that the last couple of days improved.

Thank you for your patience and time to take us along on your trip...It is the sort of trip that we don't read about as often but most of us would love to go on....

So, we can all take notes.

I think tours are the only way to see a
place like NY...unless you have a friend
or relative to show you around...cant wait
to see the pics...

Thanks for sharing your trip. It brought back many memories of when I lived on Long Island and use to make weekly trips to the city to visit friends and have fun.

Thanks for sharing the ups & downs of your NYC tour, Anita. Sounds like the last day was one of the best.
I'm with the others - I'd need time to rest after those packed days - but we're all looking forward to traveling with you to your next stop.
