NYC Day 1






I got into NYC on the 26th. Joel made breakfast and we went out to see the city. We missed Central Park so we made sure to correct this omission. The park is lovely, the result of a brilliant plan by city planners, it is a wonderful gift to the citizens of NYC.









Along the edge of the park is the Tavern on the Green. The restaurant has a charming history, but let me break it down to the finer points.













It seems like a sweet girly place with sparkling glass, pink, with gold and floral accents.














The brick patio is surrounded by dense foliage with topiary sculpted into the shapes of King Kong (why? because Kong died in NYC), a swan, a horse, and a bear balancing a ball on his head. It is a lovely place full of charm.
