The symphony was very good, we had good seats and I liked that the end song was an African song with lots of drums being used. Thank you again for this nice treat, plus I can brag about having gone to Carnegie now. :)
We left in the morning just the two of us. We decided to see more of uptown Manhattan this day. We took the Subway straight to Central Park. It was a nice, sunny day but boy was it cold. We went to 5th ave, Trump towner, saw all the fun and famous shops, saw the place where they broadcast and film for the Today show, the beautiful St. Patrick's cathedral and then it was time to meet our friends to go to the symphony.
Our meeting with my cousin was after the show. We decided to meet at the opera. We walked through Central Park really wishing it were summer instead and I could see that pretty park with all the fresh, vibrant green. Looking at all my pictures I wish I had some more color in them.
Meeting Oana was great. It was so fun to see her again. We walked around a bit, we went inside the opera to see what was playing and our friends, the amazing people that they are got us tickets to the opera for the next day. We were super excited because Placido Domingo was in it and how cool is that to go see him in person? The name of the opera was Ifgenie en Tauride. Another cool place we saw after we left the opera right across the street was the LDS temple.
After seeing the temple we were all hungry and decided to go to "Eataly," this place that our friend heard was great. It was indeed the coolest store EVER. Wow, the meats, cheeses, chocolates, everything looked so fresh and delicious. They were even making their own fresh pastas there. The only sad thing is this being such a popular place the waiting time for our seats at the restaurant was about 1.5 hours. It probably didn't help that it was a weekend, and a long one at that.(President's day was the next day) So we took off in search of a good pizzeria. We were told all pizzas are good in NY. Shane did a search on Yelp on his phone and not far from where we were we found Waldo's Pizza. We were a little worried when we first got there because we were the only ones but soon after more people showed up. The pizza was very fresh and great. It had a super thin crust and I got everyone to go along for a white sauce one. I am not so fond of the red sauce.
Now on to the pictures...
Statue dedicated to General William Tecumseh Sherman by the people of NYC. This statue was what we first saw as we entered Central Park. Right next to it were parked lots of carriages with horses ready to take you on a fun, expensive ride.

Carnegie hall was in renovation so this is my best picture

Super marfa!!! Si cat de minunat ca l-ai vazut si auzit pe Placido Domingo in persoana!!!
What an amazing trip! Have you ever done one of those scrapbooks that you create on-line and they send you a real book? I've done a couple especially for trips and have been so glad I have those mementos. I like MyPublisher which you can get discounted through Costco - let me know if you want more details.
great trip. love the temple pic with the busy outside- taxes, people rushing and beautiful temple, peaceful inside.
Wow, Placido Domingo!!! Great pics, wonderful opportunities! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures; agree with Holly: love the peak of the temple in the heart of the crazy Manhattan life.
Wow, nici nu stiu ce sa zic ca imi place mai mult. Toate locurile pe care le-ati vizitat sunt amazing!
Si mancarea, oamenii se vede ca ati avut un timp minunat. Si eu vreau o vacanta!
