New York, General 01

By far the favorite part of vacation for all of us was New York City. Though I take pride in being a "small town boy", Manhattan has always held great fascination with me due to its culture and manic pace - the only large city I've ever fallen in love with. In fact, I endeavored to move there one time - back in 1984 - but ended up with a calling to return to Texas.

We were there just two nights...the hotels are frightfully expensive. One of the few that takes four people to a room is the Hotel Giraffe, on the corner of 5th Avenue and 25th Street. We'd recommend it to anyone, really a good place to stay and away from the huge crowds, tucked into an ethnic neighborhood with a local feel.

The first few postings here are general pictures that do not easily fit into a category by place or event. We really did a lot in the two days we were there, and found a few interesting surprises along the way...
