Five Fun Fanatics: Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of

This weekend I discovered a place that tops my list of all time favorite cities.

"These streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you, now you're in

New York"

We stayed in this condo that we rented in the Bronx. It was actually quite lovely and I will never forget Leon who rented it out to us, but that is a whole story that I will not publish here.

We were there for the anniversary of Sept. 11 and there were some heavy and solemn moments that day. I cannot describe the feeling in the whole city that day.

One of the best things we did was purchase tour tickets on this double decker bus. $50 dollars for 48 hours and it drove all over the city allowing you to get on and off as you pleased and a tour guide on each bus would talk the entire ride and point out amazing city landmarks and architecture.

There were three loops the bus would take: uptown, downtown, and Brooklyn.

This pic was taken on day #2 of the tour bus.

I found out that there ARE indeed crazy people all over New York

Times Square. Incredible.

Central Park. I was trying to remember the words to the song in Enchanted while we were there.

I could not pass up an opportunity to buy a hot dog at a vender booth in Central Park.

This place was my very favorite dining experience in New York.

It was right on Broadway and the waiters and waitresses would sing to you the whole time.

They were actually quite good and would get up close and personal.

Besides the Chrysler building, this was my favorite building in New York.

It is the largest church in the country. It is as big as two football fields.

I took this pic because it was exactly the way you think New York would look like on a monday morning.

The temple is right there in Manhattan. I giggled when the tour guide mis-pronounced angel Moroni.

An unforgetable moment here. We purchased breakfast from a vendor cart and ate on the steps of a large office building on Wall Street on monday morning. I enjoyed watching all of the people in business suits and my sister and I were trying to pick out who were tourists and who were locals. Its a fun game.
