I had to go to New York for a few days for a work project and on this one Jodi and Kenzie could not make it.  I have some extra time so after work day 1 included some sight seeing.

Staying at the Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue

For just $25.00 you can have 2 eggs any way you like them at the Waldorf.

The 911 Memorial.  It’s a very sad experience visiting this, but something everyone who has the opportunity should do.

Outside the waterfalls are encircled by the names of the people killed on 9/11.  This one caught my eye and was particularly sad.  The inscription reads “Jennifer L. Howley and her unborn child” with a stuffed bear someone left.

Fire station 10 which is directly across from the World Trade Center.

Next stop was Chinatown.  2015-01-19 18.49.402015-01-19 19.47.24

The Chinese market was a blast.  You can get everything here including a couple alligator claws if you feel like it.

It’s really interesting to see how trash is handled.  New York apparently does not believe in dumpsters.  At the end of the night everything is just stacked on the curb.

And it’s comforting to know that if you need CPR, all you need to do is ask.
