The Cooks Take Manhattan

My brother and niece came to visit last weekend!

It's hard to believe it was their first time in New York City! (inside joke)

Thursday, night, we took the subway...

to Times Square, saw Rock of Ages, then walked through Midtown.

Rockefeller Center

Friday, we shopped...

in SoHo,

walked through Washington Square Park,

had dinner at Pete's Tavern, then wandered through The Strand.

Saturday...

We ate grilled cheese sandwiches from the Milk Truck at the Brooklyn Flea,

and shopped for "Louis Vuitton" purses on Canal Street.

We walked through Chinatown,

and City Hall Park,

then went to a New York Red Bulls match.

We had Sunday brunch at Penelope.

It rained.

We didn't mind (much).

Eventually, we took refuge at McSorley's, for some light & dark and a cheese plate.

(another inside joke)

Monday, they were on their own, and went to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Century 21, before meeting up with me again for dinner at Cowgirl in the West Village.

The next day, it was time to go...

I think everyone (including me!) had a great time!
