NYC 2015: Day 1 - The Upper East Side and Central Park

November 28, 2015

We started off our journey walking the neighborhood in search of breakfast.
We stopped at the Ritz Diner on 1st Ave. just a few blocks east of our hotel. The food was good and reasonably priced and the service was relaxed and friendly.  We headed back to our hotel and noticed a CVS around the corner.  So convenient if we need anything (diapers, snacks, milk, etc.).  We were lucky that our hotel room was ready in the morning instead of the afternoon so Mom and Dad got to unpack and regroup while I explored the room.  When we were finally ready, we headed west towards 5th Ave. and Central Park.
 The street was lined with cobblestone -- pretty but rough on strollers
 64th and 5th Ave. - entrance to the Central Park Zoo from the street
Guess who fell asleep for a nap!  I guess we don't have to go into the zoo now since I'm not looking at anything. There were a lot of families enjoying the animals.  Mommy could see the penguins from outside the gate.
 Entrance to the Children's Zoo
 One of many rock formations visitors would climb to take pictures
 Taking a turn on the Mall
Mommy said there are horse drawn carriages carrying visitors around the park.
 One of the many tunnels to walk under in the park
Mommy and Daddy walked across the park to the other side and saw the top of the Tavern on the Green on Central Park West.  Mommy's proud of herself because she did not get tired as usual.  She says I keep her young and energetic.
