For your viewing pleasure, some of my favorite photos Gordy and Linda snapped during their visit to NYC.
=
=
They were temporary residents of the Upper West Side - 81st and Columbus.

They had a New York slice (at Ray's, not Sbarros for all of you fans of The Office)
=

They went to see Meet The Robinson's in 3-D!

We tried to go to a Yankee game, but the game was canceled due to rain. What a bummer. They will have to come back in September - they finally rescheduled the game. (If you couldn't figure it out, I am very wet and very unhappy in this photo. We have to figure out how to meet Michael who was meeting us straight from work and then how to save the evening. We ended up on the Upper East Side at Brother Jimmy's BBQ. The good food and cold drinks saved the night.)

They visited the Met, the Natural History Museum, and the Planetarium. In the photo below Linda is doing her best impression of an ancient Egyptian statue.

They walked through Central Park. (Did you know every bridge in Central Park is different?)
=
=
We all took time to smell the flowers at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.
=

We enjoyed some great meals together. One of the best was Balthazar in Soho. Cheers to the Gin Fizz.

Always on the lookout for a firehouse photo op - we found the firehouse featured in the movie Ghost Busters. It is one of the oldest firehouses in NYC and is still in use today.

=Gordy and Linda were able to see Manhattan from the water when they took the Circle Line boat tour. It's something that has been on my 'to-do' list. Now that is has the McGuire seal of approval I know it's worth the time. The next four photos are all from the tour.
=
The Statue of Liberty - up close.

=NYC skyline, Empire State on the left and Chelsea Piers on the right.

The Brooklyn Bridge.

A bright red tug boat hard at work.
=
=
The Staten Island Ferry (it's free - perfect for some nice views of lower Manhattan on a warm day and featured in Sex and the City when the girls ventured to Staten Island).

And finally a great photo of Gordy and Linda at the Boat Basin (yes that Boat Basin for all of you Gossip Girl readers). They look like they had a great vacation. We loved having them out here. They really got to know the city. They found some great new places for us to eat and my new favorite jewelry store. We can't wait for their next visit.
