SoHo, Canal St., and Little Italy!

Day 3! This day was also fun. The area we were in here is SO different than Uptown where Central Park and 5th Ave. are. I found it very cool. We went to SoHo. And I learned why it is called SoHo. There is a street in New York called "Houston" (Not pronounced like Houston Texas, but like "house"ton.) And there area south of Houston Street became known as SOHO. This place was just tons of apartments and shopping. Lots of restaurants  and shopping. Pretty busy. I loved it. Here we went to a restaurant called "Lombardi's". And OH MY GOSH it was the best pizza ever. I can't even explain it. I just remembered thinking it was the most real tasting pizza I'd ever had. 

We did so much walking this day. We found the address to the apartment in "Friends". *It wasn't actually filmed inside, it was just the apartment building used to give a New York feel.* and walked to it. It is in Greenwich Village. It was really neat. I LOVED Greenwich Village. I don't know why I just loved the area so much. Then we walked to China Town (Canal St.) Where all the street sellers are and you can get tons of knock offs of everything. It was SO crowded. But Sara was SO GOOD at bargaining and I thought it was fun. I got a purse and a sweatshirt.  Then Little Italy is right next to it so we just walked through it. It was so just cool and different. In Little Italy every one tries to get you to eat at their restaurant and they all claim there's is the best Italian obviously.

See where we were this day! Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Greenwich Village.

Their parking garages were so wierd!

On a side note, the parking garages were way different there. They are all expensive like $40.00 so you have to look online for coupons for that specific garage you are going to. Then they take your car and ask what time you will be back so they can park it accordingly, and most of them they drive it into a car elevator and take it up somewhere to park.

Just like in movies, play grounds behind bars haha

The greatest. Pizzeria. Holy Moly it is fantastic.

Me and Sara and Lombardi's.

It tasted fantastic!

I thought it was cool to see this because there are always courts like this in the movies!

This is where the Friends apartment is.

All the stores just have TONS of purses and sunglasses.

Day 1 & 2.

*(My computer took FOREVER to upload these pictures. I have been working on this post since I got back.)

Day 1. New Jersey

My plane landed at 4:30 in New Jersey. Sara was at the airport and met me at baggage claim. We then drove to Carlo's Bakerey. (The TLC show Cake Boss bakerey!) It was raining when I got there and the line for the Bakerey was on the other side of the street, and then people working at the bakerey would come and give you a number. We waited around 15 minutes outside, and I don't know if they let so many people go inside because it was raining-or if they always do that. But we got inside and you literraly have to push through people to go look at the baked goods in the glass window case things. We waited 30 more minutes inside before our number was finally called! I got a canoli and a rainbow cake! Very tasty. :) The we went to a pizza place across the street from the bakerey which was delicious. We then went to there house which is surrounded by trees. You would have NO idea there is any city near by. It is so green on the way to their house. We just hung out and watched the olympics. They set up a matress for me in the toy room which was so nice!



Day 2. New York for the first time!

Driving into the city was so exciting! When I started to see New York City signs on the freeway I thought I was in a dream. I'm being serious. We went and parked in a parking garage by Central Park and started off there! I had NO idea it was so huge!! It was so cool to actually be there. It was awesome. I went on the carousel with Charlotte. (Their 3 year old.) Went to Strawberry Fields a memorial for John Lennon. Just walked through it for a while. After that we walked to the toy store FAO Schwarz and went on the Big Piano. We then walked up 5th avenue which is where all the stores such as....Prada, Gucci, Tiffany, Trump Tower....stores like that are! The thing about being in the city, is the time goes by so fast because you walk everywhere, so even if it seems like you didn't do a lot it takes a long time to go places.

When I saw for the first time a street sign that said Broadway I thought I was in a dream.

It is so hard to get a picture here! You have to just jump in before someone else does.

Just a nice place for a picture. Sara and me.

I payed him a dollar, he actually told me about 10 jokes.
