New York, New York
PUBLISHED ON: 11.24.2009
“In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of-There is nothing you can’t do, now you’re in New York. These streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you, let’s hear it for NewYork, New York, New York.”
Alicia Keyes- Lyrics from Empire State of Mind
New York City is the largest city in the United States with a population of more than 8 million people. There is no other place like it, in the world.
Words are not necessary when describing our experience. The photos tell the story.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Velva…. you lucky gal! Oh, to be in New York during Thanksgiving is a grand experience. Give my regards to Broadway!ps: If you can, go over to West 77th & Central Park West @ the Natural History Museum on Wednesday evening and watch them blow-up the Macy's Day Parade balloons. It is something really special! Have fun…

What fun you must be having! But now I'm worried about your poor little eggs at home with no one to cook/eat them. Did you figure out how to use them up? I wonder if you can freeze some to bake with later?

Love all the photos you posted. Wow, you had a great time!I responded to you about the potato ricer – go check out Browns Home Kitchen on Capital Circle. They have several kinds. I bought the $35 model. Works great.
Kitchen Butterfly
Funny…we both start our posts today with songs….Lovely. NYC makes my heart…throb! If you want a potato ricer…check Ikea. I got mine for about 3 euros….though I don't know what Brown's version looks like!

I love this post. (I am loving a lot of posts tonight…) I actually have some tears in my eyes because I miss New York. Not that I grew up there or anything like that. I just enjoyed all my trips there. Thank you so much for all the wonderful pictures. They are like vignettes. Happy Thanksgiving, Ms. Velva!

Wow Nice post. It makes me remember all my sweet memories when i had been to New York. One more unforgettable moment in New York for me is the Eretz Kosher Restaurant, where i enjoyed all the recipes very much.
