Christmas in New York City… we’ve seen it in the movies and we’ve seen it on TV and we wanted to experience it for ourselves. And it was fabulous! The lights and decorations lining the streets and adorning the shops were beautiful and holiday excitement filled the air wherever we turned. Adding to our Christmas joy was spending time with my cousin Anand as he showed us his NYC and took us to amazing restaurants from Empanada Mama to Gramercy Tavern.
In amongst wandering around the streets of New York, we also took the time to take in the Rockettes, Broadway, a basketball game, Central Park and a gospel brunch in Harlem.
Christmas Day dawned clear and while we had been hoping for a sprinkling of snow, we were not about to complain about the the sunny blue skies we got instead. We spent both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Anand and his close friends Pallavi and Amanda. Thank you to all of you for welcoming us into your homes and sharing the holiday season with us. And Anand, an extra special shout out to you: we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful week we have had in NYC.
One more night here in New York and then we fly back to Florida tomorrow for New Year’s Eve and the continuation of our road trip. We hope all our friends and family had a happy and peaceful Christmas and we wish you a brilliant New Year!
