Shake Shack!
Shake Shack on a different day!

Jenn was right, the best part about new york city is the food.
But you already knew that

Fleet Week
For Fleet Week, the Navy sends a handful of ships up the Hudson and Yesterday morning we watched the parade.
U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
The Long Walk
We walked almost 10 miles yesterday. Here's what we saw:
The Empire State Building from Bryant Park through Laura's sun glasses.
New York City Library had, among other things, the first draft of Ernest Hemingway's Nobel acceptance speech.
Scribner published, among other people, Ernest Hemingway.
Central Park.
Laura in Central Park.
Laura on a rock.
A cat with wings.
We ate at Otto's last night with Jenn, Chris and Emily and had, among other things, olive oil gelato. It was much better than it even sounds.

The Cosby Show and Friends
Heathcliff Huxtable and family lived at this house according to the panning introductory shot (often accompanied by friendly jazz music) that welcomed you to The Cosby Show.
Someone was kind enough to graffiti the stoop so passerbys wouldn't have to double-check their iPhones and blackberries, you now, just to make sure.
Right here (kind of) Claire succeeded in teaching Rudy how to ride a bike and Theo kissed his season 4 girlfriend after Vanessa walked by and "oooooooooooooh"ed him.
Also, the apartment from everybody's favorite 90's sitcom, Friends, was just around the corner. Apparently Chelsea is the place to set your sitcoms.
"I'll be there for you (when the rain starts to fall)."

NYC food trucks
Before arriving at Laura's cousin's apartment, Laura's cousin, Jenn, gave us one very serious commandment and it went something like, "Thou shalt eat at as many food trucks as possible and tell me which ones are the best. Thou shalt especially eat at the Korean taco place, and the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck, for I hath heard good things about them."
It just so happens that we walked past a food truck food tasting event in our first morning, and it just so happened to include all those places.
That is a beef, salsa, cheese and kim chi taco.
A steak burger.
A random art show (we're in Greenwich Village).
Indian rolls.
Ice cream cone from The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. (Though, I think the ice cream was gender and orientation neutral. I mean, it didn't taste gay.)
For dinner we went to S'mac, a mac and cheese restaurant that we went to last time we visited.
We had desert at a milk bar which is almost exactly what it sounds like plus cookies. I had an ice cream cone flavored like the leftover milk from a cereal bowl. Laura had a cookie made from scraps of other desserts, and they were both surprisingly good.

the city
A few weeks ago my husband, my sister, and I visited New York City and my cousin, Jenn.
Robert, me, Jenn, Emily
Brooklyn Bridge
The Doughnut Plant was most delicious. And we consider ourselves to be quite the doughnut connoisseurs.
Three half-Norwegians in front of the Waldorf.
cupcakes from Butter Lane
We had a lovely picnic in Central Park.
Then the rain poured on us. It was actually very refreshing after such a hot weekend.
Robert hid from the rain under a grocery bag.
I want to go back.
