NYC

Hello. In February Calvin and I went to NY for the weekend. We went with my good friend Nicole and her daughter Eva, Eva is 7. We flew down early Friday morning landing in JFK at 7:20 we took a cab to the Marriott Marquis our room was ready when we got there. A quick stop in the room and letting the kids check out the lobby (very cool elevators) we were off. We had a great day with breakfast, subway to the AMNH, walk thru Central Park to 5th avenue, FAO Schwartz, Lego Store, Rockefeller Center and walk back to the hotel. Friday night we took the Subway to Brooklyn where we saw Treasure Island at the Irondale, late night Sushi at the hotel. Saturday was filled with more kids stores, lots of walking and a fabulous Italian lunch. For dinner we ate at the View which is atop the Marquis, food was pretty good, not great but ok, the real treat was that the restaurant spun around for 360 views. Saturday night we saw Wicked at the Gershwin Theater on Broadway. I really enjoyed the performance, as did Calvin but he was a bit "freaked" out, so we left at intermission. The weekend was about the kids and I didn't want to push it, it was late and he wasn't 100% in to it. We had a nice, bright, walk back to the hotel checking out the lights of Broadway. Sunday morning we had a nice walk to a great little breakfast spot, another trip to the Lego Store and the Metropolitan Museum Gift Shop and then back to JFK. A great, quick weekend with good friends. Calvin and Eva did great and had a lot fun together, definitely a trip to repeat.
