Just got back from Gray's Papaya. Deciding if we should get a drink before packing. #
Having a Long Island (and Farrah is having a Dirty Martini) @ Gaby's downstairs in the hotel. #
Need to start packing. Checkout is @ Noon. Then to JFK to wait. Wonder how much the cab ride will be? #
@ The Red Flame for the last time. #
Is it a flat rate fare FROM Manhattan to JFK? #
@ JFK early. Taxi ride was quick. #
@ JFK watching the "Secure Wrap" dude wrap luggage. Guess people are willing to pay to have their luggage wrapped in seran wrap. #
My NYC cell phone observation - most people have a Blackberry. The only time I saw an iPhone was when I was near an Apple store. #

It's cold and windy at the Top of the Rock. We can see the Empire State Building all lit up. #
@ Katsu-Hama for dinner. Yelp, don't fail me now #
Having a small breakfast @ Grand Central Terminal. We picked up some pasteries from Junior's. #
@ the Met. Not too crowded, yet. #
Looking @ a Van Gough. #
In the Greek & Roman art section. Farrah was scolded for taking video of me doing a Tim Gunn impression. #
@ Temple of Dendur. Very calming. Nice view of Central Park. #
Trying to figure out the best way to Prada SoHo. #

Intermission @ Young Frankenstein. Too bad Megan Mullaly isn't playing her role. The show is good so far. #
We just got up. Trying to get our bearings on what to do today. #
@ The Red Flame again for breakfast. #
Trying to find the correct subway station to take to Lower Manhattan. We're trying for the Brooklyn Bridge even though the weather is raw. #
We are on the Brooklyn Bridge right now! #
Visited St. Paul's & WTC. Very emotional as a noon service was starting at St. Paul's. #

We are planning to see Lower Manhattan. Later in the day it's Central Park. We'll see how it goes. #
Standing in line for the bus tour. We are taking the Gray Line Tour. #
On the bus. We're by the seaport side. It's pretty cold now. We should have brought that extra jacket. #
Learned term: "Blocking the box." When a persons car, truck, etc blocks the intersection, not allowing cross traffic to go through. #
@ the Museum of Natural history, Dinosaur wing. My camera battery is dead. Dang it!!! #

Driving to the airport. #
OK, Virgin America is in the International terminal. #
We've landed in New York City!!! #
Our plane was initially early - good tailwind - but due to JFK traffic, we're stuck on the runway. #
Farrah & I are in our first NYC taxi ride from the airport. #
Morning traffic is heavy. Funny, our cab driver hasn't said much. He's talking lightly to someone on his bluetooth. #
Eating brunch @ a place called Maxie's Restuarnt Bar. Priced are a bit steep for breakfast. #
So breakfast was a bad idea. The best thing there was the water. My bacon was basically burnt bacon bits. #
