This is the restaurant that we tried the last time we were in NYC, so we knew we were going to enjoy the meal there.... before Barb left early in our visit we had a great dinner there.... Just as last time, there appeared to be a tour group sitting at the large tables along the middle of the restaurant.... Even though the kitchen is small, we were delighted with the service and the meal itself.... </div>

Here is where we celebrated my birthday! We had Meredith, her friend, Bobby, John and me.... it was quite crowded for a Wednesday evening, but that could be because of how tiny it is.... you definitely get the feel you are eating in someone's grandma's old fashioned kitchen....They don't have a liquor license so you are allowed to bring in your own adult beverages..... </div>

This church has been our "marker" when we are in the neighborhood..... it was only 2 blocks from the apartment.... when I tried to attend mass there last weekend, I was disappointed to learn that they were using the basement facility instead..... I was thrilled to find the front door open as I walked home from my last stroll around the neighborhood...</div>

When we last visited I was dismayed by the lack of a body of information near the reflecting pools .... that is certainly dealt with in the 9-11 Memorial Museum.... it was an impressive collection of artifacts, personal items, and information about that day.... The timed tickets can be purchased online and the app offered provided an excellent way to tour the museum... it was basically a step by step walking tour with background information included.....Robert De Niro narrates parts of it and interviews with first responders are included.... The visit will be understandably emotional for many.... plan carefully with whatever ELSE you do on the day you visit the Museum....</div>

I met my good friend Celeste in the theater district..... who knew that a show about rock bands in the 80's could be so energetic and entertaining.....Celeste belonged to an organization from whom she was able to purchase very reasonably priced seats......the theater was full (other bargains probably at TKTS) and the crowd was the most mixed of any I've seen recently in NYC (usually we are younger than AVERAGE age of the audience members) ..... lots of young people for whom THIS was their era..... before and during the show they sell beer, wine and jello shots so many folks REALLY got into attending a "rock concert" atmosphere.....</div>

Not too far from the zoo we were able to visit Arthur Avenue..... not all the shops were open on a weekday in the middle of the day.....We were able to see plenty of butcher shops, bakeries, small markets and restaurants all jammed into about a 3 block area..... smells were amazing......<br />

John and I both have fond memories of the Bronx Zoo..... nice to know that neither set of memories was shattered by our visit today..... Many of the original buildings are not used for animals (larger areas now available) but there were still lots of animals in beautiful habitats.....</div>

Our trip today was by car.... we haven't tried that since John's sister and family lived in West Point and we drove in from there..... an interesting trip mapped out for us by WAYZE app this morning.... only missed one turn, but that one sent us to Randall's Island where Mc Enroe has a tennis facility... so it was not a total loss!! </div>

The Guggenheim, located on Museum Mile (5th Avenue) just north of the Met is famous for its modern art and the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture..... Good thing the architecture is mostly visible from the outside..... the WHOLE inner spiral staircase (which normally houses the majority of the collection) is completely closed to the public... the only area open is the annex.... I did enjoy using the interactive audio tour which included information on the whole museum as well as information on the art available for viewing today.... Thanks to Meredith for a "free pass" that lessened the aggravation at not seeing the whole museum.....<br />

By about 8:45 we were regretting the decision as we had to make it through some nasty traffic on the way to the Long Island beaches.... at least by the route we selected.....Once we got out of Queens and onto the Long Island Expressway things improved....... The beaches and towns were great.... not many PUBLIC beaches, though!<br />

Even though it was gorgeous.... we had to leave shortly after lunch.... we were afraid of getting caught AGAIN in traffic on a Friday evening at rush hour..... Much quicker trip home and got to see some scenery as we drove......</div>
