our New York walk

My cousin just got married, in Connecticut and it gave Darrin and I a great excuse to go back East for 10 days. We decided to start our trip in New York City. My uncle lives there and let us stay at his apartment for a few days. We would take the subway to our destination area for the day, and then just walk, and walk, and walk. It was such a great trip.

We found food along the way which included...

The picture on the left, was the view from my uncle's apartment, it was an amazing view.
China Town - We were the only "white people" in sight. We were even refused lunch service because they didn't have any English menus.

My favorite tour had to be this Jewish synagogue, it was in the heart of China Town, which used to be called "Little Germany". It was beautiful, and the guide was amazing, she shared some of the greatest stories from the early immigrants.
