Wanderlust: Day 11

Day 11 – Another HUGE day! After a leisurely breakfast we grab a cab for a $25 ride to Brooklyn. I’m sure there are some fabulous little pockets of shopping and culture there but we didn’t actually find them L We walk around a few streets but this is just another neighbourhood, the only notable difference is that the residents are predominantly black. There is a great steak restaurant here called Peter Lugers, but for us, this will have to wait for another day. We head to the Brooklyn Bridge. It takes about 10 minutes from the start of the walk to actually enter the bridge, approximately 25 minutes to cross the span, allowing for photo stops – you really do get stunning views of Manahttan – then another 10 minutes to get onto the street. From way downtown we start to walk…. through Soho, Greenwich Village, right up Broadway to 44^th Street! Quite a trek!

I managed to shop along the way and bought pants, jacket and shirt and we did stop at Macy’s where I tried to shop again, but all in vain! Gordy was decidedly unimpressed. I had at least another two venues I wanted to check out but I had NO chance! Men just don’t have the ‘retail’ gene!

It didn’t take him long to grab some zzzz’s as soon as we arrived home. Maybe just as well as we are going to the NYCB’s performance of “Nutcracker” tonight J

The night at the ballet was lovely – beautiful at the Lincoln Centre – then we had dinner at the Lincoln Ristorante. Good food, fabulous service and all the little extras.

Another fabulous day in New York!
