NYC Trip: Day Two

it was an early morning - but well worth it. we got to the hotel - Times Square Hilton (thanks dad!!) - around 10am after a simple train ride - left our bags and headed out for a full day of the town.

the train station in the morning


this was a store that i NEEDED to come back and check out - but did not have time - next time marlow you come and we will hang here!!

broadway st in soho
the infamous dean and deluca! we had a great time walking around soho first thing in the morning. then we headed up to NYU, through Washington Square Park and then up 5th ave to Union Square Park and passed the Flat Iron Building.

Marlow, this one's for you! ha!

we have become project runway fanatics - we had to see parsons!! but no tim gunn....

after a full day of walking around we headed back to the hotel for some rest and rejuvenation - it was time to head back out to times square and rockafeller center at night!

times square


the crowd at rockafeller was unbelievable. so so many people. there was a 2 and half our wait just to buy tickets for the skating rink! craziness! but the tree was awesome. after we saw the tree we walked past st patricks cathedral and all the way up the the apple store. so sweet!!



needless to say we were ready for some food and rest. it was a long day of walking around town. we headed back to times square for some dinner at olive garden then we crashed hard. empire state building, ground zero, and liberty island on schedule for tomorrow.
