My Mom came to visit me a few weeks ago. She had not been to New York since the early '90s when she and I took a trip here together. So, she was due for some good old fashioned site-seeing!
We went everywhere and had a great time. We took a boat ride around Manhattan, visited Ground Zero, walked through SoHo and bought things we didn't really need from street vendors, had lunch at Katz's Deli (one of my favorite places), took a tour of Lincoln Center, saw a taping of the Letterman Show, and walked everywhere. There is more that we did but I can't remember it all.
And, of course, I had to include her in my weekend ritual of walking through Central Park. Even with the trees bare and snow on the ground the park is beautiful. But it was also very, very cold! So, we ducked into the Central Park Boathouse for lunch. The Boathouse is a great place for food, drinks, and taking in the view of the park. An iconic New York restaurant.
After lunch we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, then to PJ Clarke's for dinner, and ended the evening at the New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center for a performance of "The Sleeping Beauty." Not a bad day in the city.
