NYC Day 5 - Hot!

This was the hottest day on record in NYC for this day! It was very hot! After being in Thailand, Loas, and Cambodia we were in condition for this!

We got left the hotel and subwayed to Zabor's on the West Side where we bought some bread and rolls for the flight home. We then walked into Central Park where we met Courtney and walked around the reservoir. From there we went to a great art exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum located in the Andrew Carnegie Mansion. The show was called: "Provoking Magic: Lighting of Ingo Maurer". He does magical things with lighting. It was really a great show.

We then took the cross town bus and the subway and went to the West Village to have lunch at a great little fish restaurant: Mary's Fish Shack. The food is delicious, just like being in New England. Loved it!

We then walked around the Village to Washington Square. It was VERY hot and humid. Like the middle of summer. We then subwayed back to Mid-town and went to the Sony store at what used to be the AT&T Bldg. We checked out the new Sony's and Courtney bought and great PC Laptop.

Then on to the rooftop of the Peninsula Hotel for drinks at sunset. It is a great outdoor location with a view of 5th Ave. A very nice hotel indeed!

From there we said our final farewell to Courtney who has made this NYC time so exciting for us. We went back to our hotel packed and then headed our for our last dinner in NYC. We had reservations at Peter Lugar Steak House in Brooklyn but canceled. Instead we went to Fatty Crab in the Meat Packing area. It is a spicy Malaysian restaurant and was recommended to us by our restaurant friends in LA. It was excellent and we really liked the neighborhood. We will explore the area some more on our next NYC adventure.

We tried to reach our friend Harsha but he was unavailable. Our biggest regret was that we weren't able to see our in-law Jessica and her new husband Danny this time, we will on our next NYC visit!

Back to the Hotel, and ready to fly back to LA tomorrow and see our cats and have dinner at our friends Billy and Kevin!
