Brooklyn Diner, Rain, and Home

 

Walking toward Brooklyn Diner from Central Park.

 

 

Tall buildings fascinate me as I am used to tall trees.

 

 

 

 

We arrived at Brooklyn Diner at 10:30 – just in time for brunch.

 

 

 

 

There was a waiting line, so I took time to walk around the area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before long it was our turn to go inside.

 

Deb and I shared Eggs Benedict, as it always comes with two eggs.

 

 

The men got omelets.

 

 

What could I have done to get this kind of expression from Deb?

 

 

I took a fork full of her red velvet cake!

By the way, it was the best red velvet cake I have ever tasted. The filling was whipped cream, blueberries, and strawberries.

 

 

After going back to our hotel to retrieve our luggage (we had to be there by noon) we got a cab to Macy’s because we thought it would be a good way to spend our last (rainy) hour in New York City.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Macy’s is probably the only place that I don’t have to see again.  I get confused by left and right, meaning I got so lost. According to Google, there are ten floors – the basement, then floors 1 to 9. I somehow missed floors 8 and 9.

I do not like shopping, so my favorite thing was riding the old wooden escalators.

 

 

I took one last ride on an escalator before heading back to the check in area where we left our luggage.

I got there by asking for directions many times.

We had so much fun with Roy and Deb and had a relaxing, wonderful time in the city.
