Aloha to RWA in NYC - A Stroll Up Fifth Avenue

Continuing my Sunday stroll with Kandy Shepherd, we soaked up NYC's architecture.

We enjoyed the Arc Deco of the Chrysler Building ...

... and the modern touches around Bryant Park.

Walking north on Fifth Avenue, we discovered hidden treasures ...  

... in the French Building.

This vestibule would be a welcome site at the end of the day.

No trip would be complete with a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral ... 

... and the Rockefeller Center.

We enjoyed the Patriotic Salute from Saks Fifth Avenue.

The wonders of NYC never cease to amaze me.   One randomly selected commenter from my RWA posts wins a book choice from my convention stash.  Comments are open through Saturday, August 8, 10 pm in Baltimore.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, August 9.

Mahalo,

Aloha to the Big Apple - Times Square and the Empire State Building

One of my college friends called me last week with an offer I could not refuse - a midweek trip to NYC to catch a Broadway show!   We arrived late Tuesday afternoon ... 

... and headed to Times Square for the bright lights!

We walked over to the Empire State Building.   Although the observation platform was mobbed with school tours, I squeezed through them to take  pictures.   Above is a view to the south where the Twin Towers once stood ...

... to the Northwest for a peek at Times Square ....

  

... and to the Northeast, featuring the Chrysler Building.

We walked back to Times Square up 5th Avenue, passing by the New York Public Library.

Have you visited NYC?
