The Big Apple

Over a month has flown by since I visited New York, but it feels just like yesterday! I always love visiting the Big Apple, but after dealing with the crowds and the noise for a few days, I'm usually happy to come home.

One of the things I love about New York is the mix of old and new architecture.

We visited the flagship Tiffany & Co., and I was very tempted to buy something (I did not).

Our main objective in NYC was to see My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center, starring the wonderful Harry Haddon-Paton (a.k.a. Bertie Pelham from Downton Abbey).

And this was our view upon leaving Lincoln Center. So lovely!

The next morning we went to Fraunces Tavern, a Revolutionary War-era site where the Sons of Liberty used to meet. It was quite fascinating (although I might be a little biased).

The "Long Room," where George Washington said goodbye to his troops.

The journal of Benjamin Tallmadge, who was featured in the riveting tv drama Turn.

A lock of George Washington's hair.

And a few photos from our wanderings around the city....

A view of the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Chrysler Building, with Grand Central Station in the foreground.

Central Park....always a nice note to end on.
