at our new favorite dingy little Chinese place -- a dinner for two for $5.50! That includes 3 orders of dumplings, an order of hot and sour soup, and 2 cans of soda.

Then we passed a concert right in the train station

Then up the Observatory deck of the Empire State Building to marvel at the view.

Just me...

my friends...

and John.

We looked at the buildings...

the cars...

even the fuzzy lights in our eyes.

Good ole New York, New York.
