We had a fantastic time visiting Craig in New York City. This was our third trip to the Big Apple to visit Craig and probably the best. We had such a great time spending time with him as we walked the streets of the neighborhoods of NYC.
Day 1: We left Kansas City at 7:00 a.m. on Thursday and had a short 2 hour 15 minute flight to NYC. We took a cab to Craig's apartment on the west side of Manhattan. He lives 2 blocks north of Lincoln Center and 2 blocks south of the Hudson River. Great location. First thing we did, of course, was have pizza at Luigi's. Had to begin my eating vacation with NYC pizza. It was great. Craig took us first on a trip up north to The Cloisters. It was built by the Rockefellers to house works of art. It was very impressive. Built as an old monastery, it housed many church pieces from the 16oo's. We enjoyed the view of the Hudson and the changing colors of fall. After our trip to the northern part of NYC, we went to the east side for Deb to shop, then dinner at Carmine's. Great Italian food, served family style. The meat balls were the size of baseballs. We couldn't eat all the bread and food they brought. After dinner we headed to Times Square to shop. We got back to Craig's place about midnight.

Looks like you guys had a fabulous trip. I fell in love with that place this summer and cannot wait to get to go back. Jenny wants to take a trip back for her 40th birthday, so we are all saving our pennies!!
Debbie and I would love to spend 6 months living in NYC. Maybe some day. When you go say hi to Craig!
