My mom and I got up early to travel to New York City via Delta and landed a little after 2:00. We were picked up all professionally with the man standing at the end of the escalator with a sign, “Suitt.” My brother met us at the hotel, the Omni, at about 4:15, and we headed to 5th Avenue to look around. I was able to see some street performers and a few stores, including this giant candy store over near Park Avenue where we bought some coke floats.
We ate at around 7:30 at this restaurant called Buddakan that was really cool. It was over near where my brother lives, near Madison Square Gardens. My Uncle and Eddie came with us. The food was family style, so the portions were pretty generous. It was Asian food, but it seemed to have a more continental flair, which was great. I liked it a lot and would go back given the chance. We finished off the evening looking at my brother’s condo which has a great view of the city, including the Statue of Liberty, and then returned to the hotel, one night before I would be sleeping in Amsterdam.
