I am in Baltimore. . I LOVE NYC! Spent one of the best days of my life there, doing all the tourist things. I ice skated on a watershed almost every day as a kid, and started in again when my youngest wanted to learn. We went to NYC a week before Xmas (a day in the 40's no less!) with all the decorations, enchanting shop windows, crowds a-bustling, and skated on the rink in Rockefeller center under that magnificent live tree. Magic!
Rosie1917 Oh, we DID, we went to the Metropolitan, walked all over Manhattan looking at the store window displays (a bakery we saw had phyllo concoctions that had the translucent coloring of the rainbow trout they were made to represent, Santa and present cakes that were masterful), went into a tiny, tiny toy store just PACKED with wonderful things for children, ate our packed PBJ lunches in Central Park with the squirrels begging on the bench arms, even did a carriage ride through the Park, and LOVED the Dell and lake with folks skating there. An absolutely magical day!
