Our bus arrived in the City just in time for
dinner hour!
We would come to find that each time the bus took us
into NYC, it would drop us off at the exact same spot
....46th & 8th Streets. Or better known as Restaurant
Row!
Aptly named for the many, many restaurants that were located
on, or within a block of those streets.
It didn't take us long to figure out that Times Square
was only a couple blocks east of our drop off.
So, off Colleen and I went to explore!
Here's our first view of the infamous Times Square!
Did you know that each
business in the Square is required by law
to have some sort of flashing/moving light in the store
name?
I can't imagine what Las Vegas would look like after seeing
just a
few blocks of NYC lit up this way. |

This is looking
South from the centre of Times Square!
Remember....EVERY light
you see in the picture is
moving or blinking.
It was amazing! |
|
And.....this is looking
North!
Just below this tower of moving, flashing billboards
was The Olive Garden, where Colleen and I ate our
first meal in the big city!
We had a very friendly waiter that
night....something we would come to realize was few
and far between.
Sad to say, it was very noticeable
how grumpy most of the sales clerks and wait staff
were. |
