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.
