My Very First Visit to New York City, New York

23-Oct-2014 • New York City United States

I will never ever forget my very first visit to New York. I had spent layovers in JFK a few times when I traveled to the Bay Area from Madrid. However my first real stay in New York was last June 1994 with Marc. We stayed in a hotel suite in downtown Manhattan, ate the quintessential cheesecake, watched a play (Miss Saigon), had dinner at the Rainbow Room atop the GE Building (formerly the RCA Building), and walked all over Manhattan. It was a perfect 4 day weekend.

Here's Marc selling the Brooklyn Bridge to me for a buck

I forgot the name of this NYC monument. Hmmm, do you know?
