Live From New York, it's JenniferS' birthday ...

[JenniferS]

@JenniferS i didn't mean to bring down your birthday thread!!

I now return y'all to your usual carousing.

We share all joy and triumphs, and sorrows as well. That's how we roll.

This place was under consideration, until I saw the prices, and then nuh-uh.

So we are going here instead. Oh boy, that turned out to be a good call!

It's tiny, and packed.

This table behind us was the only empty one I could see. And not for long.

Not if you're doing Free "Dinning".

I could never afford free dining my dad wasn't a lawyer

Ask and YW shall receive.

Late check out? Yes ma'am, how is 1:30?

Boo yah!

Headed to Macy's tomorrow to check out the Titanic memorial plaque and the wooden escalators. The rest of the day, I think we're just dodging the weather.

 

[JenniferS]

From the Top of the Rock. Mike is done with the tall buildings for now. And the smelly, rude people. (It's been a long, hot day. I'm not sure how great we smell, but at least we're not rude.)

 

[JenniferS]

From the downstairs lobby.



Pretty squirty water, outside.

Mine either - that's why we wait for the "free" food.

 

[MinnieM123]

In line for Top of the Rock tickets ... and he hasn't had a single beer yet today.

Tomorrow (his birthday) is supposed to be the same lousy weather we had for my birthday. Go figure.

Happy, happy birthday today to Mike!! Maybe the rain today might cool down the temperatures for you, so enjoy!

 

[MinnieM123]

I never buy these things, because I am cheap.
And yet ...

Cute photo pair. (I can only imagine how much they soaked you guys for these! ) But I think it's a nice remembrance of your mutual birthday trip together. Years from now, you'll look at those photos and smile.

Katharine Hepburn's townhouse is less than 300m from our hotel, so we went for a wee stroll before dinner.

244 East 49th St.

It rents for $27,500/MONTH, if you're interested.

That's about $916.67 a day . . . a steal, I tell you, a steal !!

 

[MinnieM123]

Thanks, I really appreciate it. This year, NYPD added 34 names to their Wall of Heroes (those who died in line of duty). Only ONE of them was shot on the job last year. The other 33 died from 9/11 related cancers.

And next year, they anticipate even more of them.

My sincere condolences to all of them, and their families . . .

 

[MinnieM123]

This is what's so exciting about NYC--the skyline all lit up at night.

Jennifer, you've outdone yourself with just amazing photos of everything during this trip. I have many favorites of old and new, and your pictures and commentary have been very enjoyable this week. Thank you!

Happy Birthday Mr. @JenniferS aka Mike!!!!

 

[Lucky]

Happy birthday, JoshMike!

 

[JenniferS]

Mikey, mixing it up for his birthday brekkie.

 

[Goofyernmost]

@JenniferS, please say Happy Birthday to that tall drink of water for me, eh!

Happy Birthday Mike

 

[JenniferS]

All my life, school ended at the end of June, and began again the day after Labour Day. The arrival of my birthday always meant that we were getting close.

The official harbinger of summer's end though has always been the opening date of the CNE (The Ex).
18 days of carnival rides, games, and outrageous food concoctions. None of it good for you.

I now offer you my #1 pick for ... Not if my life depended on it.

Black velvet funnel cake with charcoal ice cream.

Yeah, a 1:30 checkout doesn't mean much when you deactivate our room cards @noon.
