Hong Kong Maritime Museum - Stanley, Hong Kong Island A bit tired from last night's red-eye, we jumped on the subway off 86th & 3rd... for breakfast at Cosmic. Adam Sandler was at the next table! What fun! Steven, ready for world domination. "I showed you the value of information, how to get it, this is how you repay me?" Children in Central Park showing their American spirit. Intertesting enough was the fact they weren't American. Boat rental on a hot, humid Thursday afternoon. A perfect activity after lunch at Tavern on The Green. Tile mosaic in New York's Central Park, a monument to John Lennon. Across from his home, CPW & 72nd. Looking for the M bus to take us back to the Upper East side. Julia is in need of air conditioning. View of traffic from the tram. What am I starring at? Probably the same thing the women to my right is. Ah! We're looking at Julia playing around with a sexy pose. View of the East River on the way to Roosevelt Island. Not everyone gets to see... a rare moment of New York silence. Popsicle theives! Nighttime skyline. Looking for our seats... right past the band. Everyone stands for a tribute to America... and the fireworks begin above the US flag. Whoa! Too close to the ground! Refletions in a nearby building. A beautiful display... over downtown New York. The show contines... while it's too hot for shirts. We ran into Shahla, a friend from San Francisco, on the subway... where Julia likes playing with my goatee. Breakfast at Mercer Kitchen. Amazingly tasty waffles. Phil in the Box. Grand Central Station The long view up. Photo op at the Guggenheim. Together, we'll see everything. Even the Met. Chet and Jules, ready for an early dinner at the Russian Tea Room. Steven starting with a vodka tasting. I'll have the Chicken Kiev. Chet being served. RTR's famous Faberge tree. Opening act of the Producers. Leo's ready to be involved. Best friends in Times Square. Microsoft powered billboards. Queued up at Veruca... spotting the NY fashion trends. Doctor T and Rachel in the VIP area. Miller Time. Nathan's hotdogs with peanuts. Caught taking my photo... during the 7th inning stretch. Bluejays are destroying the Yankees. Smoke from the Canadian fires. Sunset on 86st. The bar at Elephant. This mirror is a little wacky. You never told me that! Dinner was great. Cozy tables in the village. Catching a feel at Milk Bar. Shopping off Canal street. Which way to go? Local artists like to boast. Dim Sum cart. Louie, our Dim Sum expert... teaches us... the history of Dim Sum. Our group's happy to have learned proper Dim Sum tea drinking etiquette. Louie's tea tips written on the inside of a matchbook. America's 911 Ride. Tribute in front of an old graveyard. Paying respect to lives lost. Approaching Ground Zero. Steel Cross. Clean-up continues. View from Liberty street. Julia remembers being out front when the second plane hit. Closed fire station across the street. Clearing seven stories deep. The Sphere lives on... in the shadow of Lady Liberty. Boat service to Ellis Island. St. Mark's Pizza. Punk rock kid. Rounded corners in the East Village. I'm ready to go home. View from Julia's apartment.
