New York City 2006
Day 1 - Abby and Ange in the East Village:
On our way uptown on the Subway:
A tour of Rockefeller Center – Look kids its Atlas:
Ange at the fountain:
Me at the steps of the New York City Public Library:
Chilling on the beautiful grass in Bryant Park:
Day 2 - Checking out the design gallery at the MoMA:
(I'm thinking of building one of these)
Dinner with my family at a nice Italian place in Clinton:
Ange in Times Square:
Day 3 - Lady Liberty
And Ellis Island:
Ange checking out lower Manhattan:
My brother, Alex, seemed to like his first trip to the big apple:
I liked the sea so much I decided to join the Navy:
Ange got a gig with the USO Show:
Day 4 - Clams and beer at Coney Island:
Ange and I get a little spring training in:
And play some mini-putt:
Day 5 - Sometimes you see strange things in this city, like political statements:
And upside down people:
Ange and I in Central Park:
(Did you know that Manhattan is 1/4th parkland?)
And of course Ange and I appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman:
Day 6 - Ange checking out the view at the Empire State building:
Me sneaking a kiss at the top of the Empire State building:
Some shots of New York from the Empire State building:
Hey a fire in Brooklyn:
(In the news while we were in NYC there was a story about a mailman getting caught burning mail and a about a big fire in Brooklyn, I'm not sure which this is but its one or the other.)
A british tourist asked me if this vacant lot was Ground Zero, the lot was uptown from the building, whereas Ground Zero is downtown:
(The other funny thing is that I doubt one of the twin towers could have fit into that little orange sqaure.)
A shot of Bryant Park (where Ange and I were chilling on Day 1) and Central Park in the distance:
Grand Central Station:
Poor little Ange lost and alone in the middle of Grand Central:
Day 7 - Ange and I in Brooklyn with Manhattan in the background:
Ange in beautiful Brooklyn Heights, this is the neighbourhood that the Huxtables lived in:
Ange on the Brooklyn Bridge:
Me kissing Ange on the subway:
Day 8 - A New York street fair:
(Abby said that in the summer there is always a stree fair going on somewhere in the city)
Ange and I at a beer garden in Astoria on her Birthday:
(This place was awesome; it was about half the size of a football field with tons of picnic tables and imported beer. I found it odd that the place was filled with drunk people and kids, seriously, apparently the beer garden is quite the family spot in Queens, there were about a dozen kids running around.)
Heading back into the city for some more drinking:
Ange said she had yet to be drunk in New York:
Some illegal dancing at the Fat Black Pussycat Club:
According to Joel (right) you have to have a license to dance in NYC, Alex (left) is unlicensed:
I'm getting that glazed drunk-guy look in my eyes:
My beer looks up at me in fear:
Marnie arrives from work and tries to catch up:
We get a nice range of emotions, Marnie is content, Abby is happy and Ange is angry:
I cheer her up with a birthday lap-dance:
Someone looks pretty drunk to me:
Day 9 - Back to T.O.:
GOOD TIMES!
