Continuing with my NYC series today.......
Chick-Fil-A opened in NYC just a week before we were there.
Of course I had to go in, but just got some sweet tea and fruit. Didn't want to make the girls too jealous ;).
Here is the famous Macy's department store at Herald Square in NYC. Hard to believe this will be the site of the Thanksgiving Parade next month!
I love the wooden escalators in this store!
I was just a few weeks away from seeing Santa! In the mid-90's, I did visit Santa here who is seen on the 8th floor. Yes, the 8th floor!!
I went to a SNL exhibition where they tell the story of how this show comes to live television each week and props of the "good 'ol days".
Jeopardy skits were always hilarious.
And we loved watching the Spartan cheerleaders when they were on in the 90's.
This is an actual Emmy Award announcement for the show.
I met mom that afternoon for a yogurt date.
I also visited the Hershey store.
I also visited the M&M store. I never buy anything at these stores, but they are fun to go inside!

Monday night, we met our 2nd cousin, who lives in NYC, for dinner.
Day 4 started with me taking a walk towards Central Park.
First, I went by Columbus Circle.
Then I spent just a few minutes in the park.
I loved seeing some of the fall colors and leaves on the ground.
I sat here and picked up a few :).
I always enjoy seeing the carriages go by in the park.
They are lined up on Central Park for hire!
This is Tiffanys on 5th Avenue.
I walked down to Rockefeller Center, where the ice rink had just opened a few days prior.
Their fall colors were beautiful and all the plants were beautifully arranged.
As a fan of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, I took a picture of his thank you notes sold in the NBC gift store. I didn't buy any because they cost $40!!
A huge thrill of my trip was having lunch with my 6th grade school teacher! She actually taught me 5th grade too. I loved Mrs. Garner and she is still just as sweet.
Mom was able to join us for lunch too. I brought Mrs. Garner a bracelet from Colombia and she had presents from Bloomingdales for Mom & I.
That night, we went to see the play Aladdin, which was so great.
The theater was beautiful inside!
Afterwards, we stood outside by the stage door and met "Aladdin". The doors you see across the street are actually the front doors of our hotel.
We also met "Jasmine". Both were so nice and friendly to all the waiting fans.
I will wrap up tomorrow with my final NYC post.
