9/11 Memorial and Carmine's with Aldo!
29. März 2018 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Craig and I had breakfast in our room and then we all walked up to Madam Tussards to get our New York Pass bus tickets. Had to wait for ages for the bus because of a funeral of a firefighter, which had closed a number of blocks. Eventually, we made it downtown to the Wall Street area. It is very, very cold. We had a look at the Stock Exchange building and the BULL. There are always plenty of people taking photos there!! Next, we walked and found a coffee and muffin. Then we made it to the 9/11 Memorial which was absolutely spectacular. Loved seeing that. Too crowded to line up for the museum but seeing it was most worthwhile.
More walking and eventually had lunch at another food hall type place. Very tasty sandwich!

Getting back home took ages with the bus but we did see all along the east side. By then we were exhausted so Craig, Louise and I went to Macy’s, which was fun. Craig bought some lovely shirts (2) and also some white tee shirts. Macy’s gave us an extra 10% off on sale items. Back home for a needed rest. Tonight we took a limousine all the way out to Broadway and 90th (uptown) and… went to Carmine’s with Aldo and Helene. It was a huge Italian restaurant, with great atmosphere, pasta, salad and veal scallopini and great Cheesecake. The wine was great. It was hilarious because I believe they celebrated over 10 birthdays and every time we heard a very loud singing of Happy Birthday. Late home with taxis but a great finish to the day.Weiterlesen

26. März 2018 in den USA ⋅ 🌙 3 °C
So this morning we got ourselves organized and the bags fit into the car!! Craig drove brilliantly again and the trip down seemed easier than the arrival drive. Once we got to Manhattan it was very busy but we did manage to get petrol, drop everyone off at the hotel and then drop off the car. The walk back was exciting and our Cambria Suites hotel is very central and all around us are pretty flower shops. It has turned out to be a lovely, sunny day but also very cool in the shade. We met for coffee/lunch and the Market Crate Café and then set off to find the New York pass place. Turns out the VR place is no longer valid so we walked on up to Times Square which was very exciting. We eventually found the spot near to the M&M Centre. Also purchased some caps – I had to get a child size and a cute one for William ☺ Macy’s was gorgeous with the flower display/show on currently.
After a rest at home, which was very much needed, we walked out tonight and once again had a look at the Flat Iron building – very nice! We had a nice meal at the Belgian Beer Bar but my lemon chicken had no lemon in it!! Fun times with the family! We went up to Times square again – very bright to see lights at night time!Weiterlesen

OH MY DIA!
This morning Craig and I did an early, little shop at the Food Works and Drug World. We were all pretty excited when it started to snow. Only flurries - but wow.
Then we set out for Beacon. It is another town about 15 minutes north from Cold Spring, which was recommended by one of the shop owners here to Josy & Louise. The town looked pretty on the Internet and it has the Dia Beacon art gallery – recommended by Thelma. Well, Beacon was closed and quite boring looking! We took ages to find a place for coffee and eventually decided on Big Mouth Cafe as recommended by a local. Coffee was best so far – although overall it has been pretty bad in USA. AFTER THIS and a look over the Hudson River, we drove to the Dia gallery. What an interesting and challenging place! It was mainly installations in big rooms – like the Guggenheim in Bilbao but different. It had some similar pieces like the Richard Senna giant steel structures you can walk through. Some new amazing halls of the red and white ‘roadways’ – all mathematically calculated. My favourite I believe was ‘TRIBUTE TO THE SQUARE” where various rooms of white gauze-like walls had lights and openings which made you feel like you were in and out of a mirror – fascinating. Some were strange but overall it was most enjoyable. Nicholas pretended to be bored, Tony was hilarious. We went back to Cold Spring and had an enjoyable lunch of seafood chowder, salad, burgers etc. We really like this village.Weiterlesen

Big Party Day today!! We slept in a little and eventually set off in the big limousine for the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor in Mahopac. It was a lovely, scenic drive with lots of snow still around. It was a lovely venue and there were lots of people present to celebrate Zia Rosina’s 100th party. Great food – just like an Italian wedding! There was an entertaining band and loads of dancing. We met Patinella’s little brother and Zia Viola’s brother and Zio Ernesto’s sister. They all loved us and we were ‘entertainment’ for the locals. Zia Rosina managed to sing and also do quite a bit of dancing – amazingly!! We sat altogether with Tonino & Antonetta plus Libera & Silvano plus Lina and Tony Barone. They are going back to Italy tomorrow. So it was quite and emotional goodbye. Back home and relaxing, planning, contacting home etc. Unfortunately, Louise slipped down the stairs!! Okay so far.Weiterlesen

Good day – we did another walk looking around this lovely village. Eventually we came home again for a rest and getting organized whilst the girls shopped. Next we walked down with Nick to the Willy Whistler bar and had a drink, which was fun altogether. Back home for another rest and tonight we are meeting all the Rinaldis again at the Riverview Restaurant for meal together. What a great night!! Aldo paid for everyone of course but it was delicious, noisy and so wonderful to be altogether with the Italian/Australian/American Rinaldis. We walked down and back home again. Stopped at Romeo & Juliet hairdresser because the three Italian girls were having their hair ‘dos’. Of course getting to sleep was hard afterwards on a full stomach.Weiterlesen
