NEW YORK – DAY ONE-ok

So yesterday was our first full day in New York. We woke early. We planned to go have breakfast at MacDonald’s but we were surprised that it doesn’t open until ten. WHAT??????
Anyhow we found another restaurant and had breakfast – nothing exciting but food. Then we took a taxi to Ground Zero. We saw a tribute that just opened. It was heart wrenching! There were moving stories from survivors. There were pictures from people who were looking for their loved ones. OY!
Then we went across the street to CENTURY 21 which is a large discount department store. To me it is like TJ MAXX. We didn’t buy anything. Then we took another taxi to Canal street. I went into Pearl’s art store. My cousin and sister were suppose to walk slowly down the street looking in stores and I would catch up to them!! Well they sat down at a restaurant a few doors away from Pearls. I walked out another door. To make a long story short we lost each other. In the end I wasn’t sorry at all. I bought a bunch of purses. They are all cheap knock offs. I also bought DVD’s  of the latest movies for five dollars. Of course it is all illegal!!!!
I took a taxi back to the hotel about five. We went for supper at Broadway Joe’s. I had yummy lamb chops. Then we went to a comedy club. There were a few comedians. Two were very funny!
We had coffee at Maxie’s. Then it started RAINING. We waited and waited. Finally we just walked back to the hotel.
I am disappointed that my cousin is cheap! I wanted to see a play last night but they just didn’t seem interested. Another reason I really rather travel alone. My cousin won’t go to the bathroom alone.
This morning we have to go back to Canal street. Then we will go to the Modern Museum, do some more shopping and finally to see Hairspray. I hope to find a needlepoint store and maybe another paper store where I can buy some journals. Toys r us too.
So better get ready. What will today hold in store??
New York? New York??????????? What a wonderful town!
