A PERFECT New York City Day....When I can, I love to add pictures. Yes, Rod Stewart was right, every picture tells a story. I had written about that beautiful, spring-like day we had in January and showed several pictures of Central Park. What I didn't realize at the time was how many people LOVE that park and some have some very special memories there. This post is just a walk up to the Park but I am going to add more photos of Central Park to enjoy. What exactly is it that a Feng Shui Consultant loves about New York City? EVERYTHING!
My daughter was home for winter break when we heard a high would be in the 60's for that day; we just looked at each other and didn't have to say a word. On the very first warm, sunny day after the winter each year I head to Central Park-to get outside, to see the city and to thoroughly enjoy a beautiful day. We got up early the next morning and that's exactly what we did.
Arriving at Penn Station, these pictures were just our walk up to Central Park. New York City anytime of year is wonderful but I had the feeling when we arrived there that everyone had the same thought: Take a day off and just go play! That's EXACTLY what we did. I hope you enjoy your walk...
Penn Station is VERY underrated! Some of the Artwork is just lovely.
It's easy to get lost in Penn; it's also easy to find some wonderful food!
It's wise to buy your tickets BEFORE you board, if possible; there is a hefty surcharge for purchasing them on the train.
A wall of 3-D Artwork accross from the LIRR Museum. Odd that after traveling through Penn Station thousands of times I never knew they had a small museum in there!
A new project of the LIRR will allow direct access to The Upper East Side, This is expected to be completed in 2012.

THIS is January? Even the police on Horseback were enjoying the day!
You can see the sign for Bubba Gump's Shrimp Factory. I would have thought this would be a "touristy" place with bad food....Wrong! Actually, you walk up several flights of stairs so you are looking down while you eat at Times Square. And the Shrimp? If you like it, they make it every way imaginable :)
Still in the Heart of Times Square. One thing is missing, something New York has become famous for---The Naked Cowboy. Yes, I have pictures but decided not to show them. However, he is quite a character and shouldn't be missed if you're taking a trip to NYC!
New York City is wonderful. You can go all the time and NEVER see the same things twice!
Do not miss the Hersey Store--actually this would be difficult to miss :)
These images are just changing lights...very fun to watch!
This Gem you might miss....it's downstairs and if you aren't looking for it, you just might pass it. It's a restaurant called MARS 2112. You take a ride (A Disney type Ride) to enter the restaurant where you are greeted by a bunch of Aliens! And yes, the speak English :)
Some beautiful architecture. And some Famous New York Hot Dogs (we call them Dirty Dogs). HINT: Get one BEFORE you enter Central Park, the price increases 100%! )
The Globe directly in Front of Donald Trump's Building to deflect the energy of all the cars. The entrance to the Building is on the Right---Directly across from Central Park. This Globe, while initially criticized had become a New York City Icon.
Whew, we've walked about 25 blocks or so already....and the day is just starting! You are about to enter Central Park in ALL seasons! You're welcome to come back and share the rest of our gorgeous day in New York City.
