The Addict Goes to New York!

The addict has been away this past week on a business trip:

NEW YORK CITY!


I have to admit that I am not always excited about traveling for business, but a trip to New York is something special. The addict has not been to New York since he was a kid (a long long time ago).

What a trip!

While most of the trip was spent on Long Island, the addict and a business partner had some free time last Tuesday night and we made sure we got into the City (that is definitely with a capital 'C').

As soon as we were checked into our hotel, we took a train from Hicksville to Manhattan arriving in Penn Station. We then spent several hours walking the streets of the Midtown area of Manhattan.



WOW!

For a person who is used to thinking of Minneapolis as a large city, there are no words to describe Manhattan.

WOW!

So many people! So many places! So many buildings! So many cars!

WOW!

The addict was lucky to have some time to spend in Manhattan and he was not afraid to be a tourist. So the addict made good use of his time and hit all the spots he could in one short evening.


TIMES SQUARE


WOW!


ROCKEFELLER CENTER (With the great big Christmas tree)


WOW!


THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING


WOW!


The addict simply doesn't have the words to describe New York.

WOW!

But the addict is very grateful for this one small opportunity for a visit.

I hope I can go back.

WOW!
