Rebecca Relaxes in Manhattan (Sunday)

---

Sunday morning was another early morning and a another beautiful day (three cheers for spring). We started with a 9am Mass at the local Catholic church conveniently located two doors down from our apartment. Next, breakfast at The Vinegar Factory - a strange name, but the building used to be a vinegar factory. Now it houses a high end grocery store (2 navel oranges ((that's 2 individual oranges, not 2 lbs. of oranges)) for $4.99 that particular Sunday) and restaurant. The food was well prepared and tasty and with no wait it was a perfect place to fill up in the morning. The breakfast prices were in line with any of the local cafes or diner. After breakfast Rebecca packed up her bags and with the few hours we had left for her visit, we headed down to:
---
Grand Central Terminal
---

---
Rockefeller Center (the ice skating rink is finally closed for the season)
---

---
NBC Studio

And for our last stop we could not resist all of the sparkles in the Swarovski store. Rebecca is standing by the most incredible dress. It was just radiant from all of the crystals - the picture doesn't do the dress justice. I now understand when they say the dress looked better in person that it did on tv, some things you can't capture on film

Looking for a Swarovski crystal couch? I know just where to find one.
It was kind of scratchy, I think the cats would hate it.

It was a great weekend, we had a blast shopping, eating, and touring. And it was especially nice that Rebecca brought the only thing I wanted from San Diego - the sunshine!
