The NYC Randomness.

Because of my wonderful situation on the Jersey Shore, I have the ability to run back and forth to New York City whenever I please. Most the time I take New Jersey Transit into the city to put me at Penn Station so I can walk around. However on the last two trips my husband has driven into the city so we could go visit his favorite store called Myers of Keswick, an English Shop and Butcher.

We drove through the Holland Tunnel, it drops you into Lower Manhattan where it is less psychotic then Midtown where the Lincoln Tunnel puts you. I never got any pictures of the tunnel before so I thought it would be a good time to get some...

Danny wasn't to happy.

He was afraid we'd be labeled terrorists, but I emerged victorious with a few prized pictures.

We went to the butcher and decided to walk up to Midtown to see if we could get lunch at PRET, a London born organic/natural sandwich shop that makes a great brie and grape sandwich (don't knock it) but it was unfortunately closed on the weekend. What we did get to see on the way up was worth the 60 block round trip walk, the show of force by the NYPD.

The show of force is basically what it's called, just showing all the cops to show the people of NYC and it's tourists how strong the police presence is, but I got a few good pictures.

The trip was rather short, but I know come the holiday season we'll spend a full day in the city when we go to see the tree, go to light some candles at St. Patrick's Cathedral and go look in all the pretty windows.

I'll end this blog with my favorite picture I took in NYC from that trip, I found it on a small side street, and even though the election was over it still make me laugh.
