The Country Mice Visit the City: Day 2-4

here are the rest of our pictures from our fabulous trip to NYC. They are possibly slightly out of order, but close!

Late morning brunch with mimosas before heading into the city. 

A trip to the Natural History Museum - complete with a star show (which I'll admit I slept through. so cozy and dark!)

Then off to Central Park for a picnic. it was beautiful!

Walking around the high end Upper East Side (I think I'm remembering that correctly)

Sarabeth's! We did not eat here though. 

On one of the mornings we met Cousin K's good friend at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens - and then on to brunch. 

Thor at the cheese shop eyeing all the delicious mustards.

This is the most amazing cheese we have ever had. Incredible! The truffle/cinnamon coating on the exterior is so unique!

A quick stop for the best gravy cheese fries in NYC!

Then onto the grocery to peruse our dinner options. 

But we ended up going to try 'the best' slice in NYC at DiFara's Pizza and we were NOT disappointed!  Here's the man himself still making pies after something like 40-years. This pizza was amazing. The wait is ridiculous-but if you like pizza it is not to be missed!

On our last day the weather was beautiful and warm and we took a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge.  I can only imagine what it is like in the summer time with more tourists - it was already packed when we were there in May!

On our way to the airport we needed lunch! So we took a small detour to grab a sandwich (corned beef on rye, I believe) at Katz's Delicatessen. SO GOOD. yummmm. another delicious NYC classic treat!

Brooklyn Bridge - out of order!

We really milked our time. After lunch we decided we had time for one last stop, but only if Daphne didn't park and Thor and I ran! So we ducked into Grand Central Station to check it out before racing to the airport. The ceiling/architecture is stunning!

A great trip to New York!
