"Cut off as I am, it is inevitable that I should sometimes feel like a shadow walking in a shadowy world. When this happens I ask to be taken to New York City. Always I return home weary but I have the comforting certainty that mankind is real flesh and I myself am not a dream." - Helen Keller

Sunday, let's see what did we do on Sunday?
We started off with breakfast at a place called Ben Ash, which we've now nicknamed Ben Ass because we both felt awful after eating there, so we were going at a bit of a slower pace for the morning.
We ventured to Top of the Rock to get a higher view of the city and hung out there for a little bit, then we walked around the area for a bit before hitting up the gift shops to see what we could pick up. We struck out at quite a few of the shops as the postcards were actually not very impressive. Eventually though, we found the things we were looking for.
We also hit up a couple shops so Nard could find some new clothes, he ended up finding a well fitting suit jacket and new dress shirt, so he's pretty pleased. I ended up finding a new dress and a new skirt, which while fantastic was a bit disappointing as I was on the hunt for a new purse. Sadly though, Daffy's, the place I picked up a bunch of things the last time I was in the city was closed so I guess it wasn't meant to be.
After a quick trip back to the hotel to drop off the bags, we headed out to the Central Park zoo for a visit with the animals. The place was insanely busy but we managed to keep our sanity and visit all the exhibits, see the majority of the animals (the polar bear was hiding) and visit the gift shop. All in all, it was a good visit to the zoo!
Hmm, oh after that we went in search of a slice of pizza, ended up at a place called Ray's on 54th which was an extremely disappointing slice. All in all, Sunday was a bust for food.
After the slice, the sun was starting to set so Nard and I ventured out towards the Roosevelt Island Bridge to try and get some shots in. It was actually a lot colder than we had expected by the water so while we waited for the sun to go down we ventured around the area.
Afterwards, we stopped in at a Starbucks for some coffee and free wifi.
It was another busy day, but of course well worth it.
(I know, I still have yet to catch up on flickr, I'll get there. One more day of NYC photos to post and this weeks photos then I should be back on my routine... I hope!)
