Boxing Day

Brunch at Sanford's Astoria, then on to the Museum of the Moving Image and the exhibit Spacewar! Video Games Blast Off.

Into Manhattan as the snowstorm Euclid hit. Visited Apple and FAOSchwartz before taking a bus on up to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Dinner at Porterhouse at Fraunces Tavern where George Washington gave his farewell to the officers.

We didn't have any extra time before the theater so no traditional shot of us by the marquis.

Mixed review of Cat on a Hot Tin roof.

NYC

Saturday. We took Amtrak to Penn Station. Then we walked a couple of blocks to Greeley Square to pick up the F to our home away from home in Long Island City, Queens. After leaving our bags, took the F all the way to the other end, Coney Island, Brooklyn, about an hour on the local. We returned to an Italian restaurant for a lovely dinner. Didn't get to walk around much to see the damage from Sandy. After toying with the idea of stopping in Manhattan at the Apple store, decided to head on home.
