New Years in New York-Dec 30, 2007

Woke up with a bit of a headache so we headed to Brooklyn Diner for breakfast:

Mrs. CB had Blueberry and Lemon Zest pancakes,(that's her rack) while I had


Tony Bennett's French Toast.

Fortified, we hit the road like true tourists and took a million pics:


Big Red Christmas Balls


Just to show you how big they were (I'm 5'10")


Big Ornaments


Mrs. CB and big lights


Big train, big clown, big queer...you decide what's what.

After lunch, we went back to the room for a quick nap. Then off to:

Radio City Music Hall where we saw the Rockettes. That place is absolutely stunning inside. And due to my Ticketmaster kung fu, I had gotten us tix only 11 rows from the stage. Oh yeah!

When the show was over, it was dark out:


We left the show and went to Bar Americain (Bobby Flay) for a lovely dinner. I now have a signature drink, the Dark and Stormy-dark rum, ginger beer and lime. Yum!

Post dinner entertainment was a walk in the rain to Rockefeller Center to see the tree:


Tree at RC


Tree topper


RC Holidays




Ice Rink. We couldn't get close, but an officer took a pic for us:




Snowflake light show was really cool!


Angels trumpetting their horns


Soldier's butt

And bonus shots of me having fun with the "O-H-I-O cheer"under the tree:


"O"-

"H"-

"I"-

"O"
GO BUCKEYES!!

We went back to the hotel, ordered a bottle of wine and got a good night's sleep in preparation for New Year's Eve!
