    I don’t smoke. Didn’t enjoy it when I was younger either. She plans to give what is left to one of four doormen here when she leaves.

    So far, so good.



    Few plays.

    Went to see The Music Man, The Book of Mormon and Hadestown

    The Music Man was entertaining. Most all of the audience loved the show.





    The revised Book of Mormon was even better than the first time we saw it years ago.





    Hadestown was a great show and the performers were wonderful.

    More things to do with a Thai girl while in Manhattan.

    1 - She took us all on a guided tour, but she wasn’t the guide. She wanted to learn more about some areas/buildings/etc. while in Manhattan.

    Some of these tours can be interesting as the Grand Central Station tour was. Learned about FDR’s train, Vanderbilt (who built the building), design of the building, the ceiling, strange corner walls, the rocket hole, mooring lines, the tennis court, unfinished art work and the bars/restaurants (not the cheesy ones downstairs) I never knew existed.









    Maybe the only payphone left in Manhattan.


    2 - We all got up early to watch the sun rise from The Empire State Building.


    3 - She was able to pick up her Christmas gift that aren’t available in Thailand. Two coats, as apposed to one full length (she already has at least 2). My daughter picked out two for herself (bit trendier).

    Smartphones. On the first page of the thread, I posted about one nice Thai Restaurant in Manhattan we found (owned and operated by Thai’s). There were other Thai Restaurants we did visit but not nice enough to mention here.

    Whatshername found two more nice Thai Restaurants (owned and operated by Thai’s) with the help of her smartphone.

    The Thonglor New York

    Meal was Dried Suki Yaki



    And Ayada in Chelsea Market

    Meal was Khao Soi Duck



    ____________

    Most tourists will visit the South side of Central Park. Here’s a handful of pictures of the North side of the park.

    Vanderbilt Gate


    Untermyer Fountain


    Glen Span Arch


    Fort Clinton


    The Blockhouse (Ft. Clinton)

    Great photos and great thread, seems like you are having a nice time and those jackets are very nice! New York does have an excellent array of bar's and restaurants, probably the best in the world.

    I love New York, especially rowing a boat in central park with those turtles just hanging loose. It is a pity I haven't been for a decade now, especially as two of my siblings live in the area. I will definitely check out the Brooklyn Botanical Garden next time I am in town. Bear mountain state park looks beautiful as well and I have always wanted to hike in the Adirondack Mountains. My sister has a husky and she has been wanting me to dog sit and take him hiking for a few years now.

    Somewhere you might not have taken your girls yet is Fort Tryon Park. I enjoyed the trip up there and the view over the Hudson is nice.

    The townhouse you got back in 2015 looks just perfect if you are travelling with family. It is always best to rent a home if you are anything more than just a couple in my view.

    Something very funny just ran through my head. We all went there as a family once and we were sitting on the subway and there was an advert for The City University and it read, 'Look who's investing in CUNY'. We had had a few along the day and we all couldn't stop laughing and no one on the carriage got it until a military guy looked, smiled and obviously got it. Stupid but still funny and a nice memory.

    ^Thanks

    She went back to visit Brooklyn, where she ate her first Lobster Roll






    Again, if you’re going to stay for more than a few days in Manhattan and might be entertaining you should consider renting a house or nice apartment. Full kitchen, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, washer/dryer (so you don’t have to pack as much) and large living room.

    The lobster roll looks superb. I've got a Thai student who lives in NYC, I'll ask her to see if she has any recommendations and pass them along.

    Funnily enough we ran out of time, and didn't get to one.
