We had a fun couple of days in New York. Danny drove down midweek and the kids and I took the bus down on Friday morning, Dec 30th. I woke them up at 4:45 am to catch the bus to Porter station, the T to South Station, and then a bus to NY. They were fantastic travellers. Highlights of the trip were ice skating in Rockerfeller Center, watching them test the New Years ball in Times Square, Highline park, climbing on the giant rocks in the south side of Central Park, books and cupcakes at Books of Wonder and wandering around the streets. We stayed at our friends apt in the Upper West side (thanks Ben!) and I discovered the Westside Market on Broadway during a morning run - awesome place.

We waited over an hour to skate

We squeezed in a quick stay in NY while the kids were in VT at Camp Grandma. The first stop was the Dia: Beacon on the Hudson. This musuem is amazing - so worth the trip if you haven't been. We drove through a wild summer thunderstorm and reached the city in time for a late dinner at  Celeste on Amsterdam/85th. Day two started with pastries from the Hungarian Pastry shop (on Amsterdam near Columbia) and then we spent the rest of the day walking over 60 blocks starting with the High Line, into Chelsea, West Village, SOHO and then met friends for dinner at Rohm Thai. We checked out the Museum of Art and Design the next morning and had to evacuate after the Virginia earthquake shook the building.
