NYC in photos

[devilgrrl]

Too tired for a real post, but yay photos:

My friend Nicki, the beautiful bride


The church and receiving line.


Steven, Nicki, and me. And when did Nicki and I start looking like family?


Our table: the Table of Awesome


Steven and I. I clean up nice.


The Empire State Building. I refused to pay $19 to go to the top.


Ghost bike. Steven tells me these are all over the city.


The spinny Juan Valdez cup in Times Square


New Year's Eve stuff IN AUGUST!


Times Square


More Times Square


Grand Central


We look so tired.


Koenig's Globe from WTC Plaza, now in Battery Park.


The plaque in front of it.


The damage in the back.


Lady Liberty. Another thing I would not pay to see up close.

Love the pictures!

I was going to mention that you and your friend Nicki looked a whole lot alike, but you seemed to notice that already. I would have mistaken you two for sisters.

And Wow to the damage on the Globe. :(

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

I think I did the exact same thing when I looked at my wedding photos a while ago. Yea, I can't believe how much we look alike in some of those photos.

I actually found seeing the globe quite humbling. This was the first time I'd ever been to NYC so I had no concept, really, of the WTCs or the scale. We walked past the footprints and, until I saw the globe, I couldn't wrap my head around the whole concept of it. The damage was unreal.

:-) Yay pictures! You look beautiful. I am so jealous of how effortlessly cool you are.

Thank ye muchly!

Don't buy into the hype. There was tonnes of effort involved in cleaning up that well: dress and shoes picked out by my mum and Steven insisting I blend my make-up better.

You guys look absolutely perfectly together. And Sam, you've got the best smile ever. :)

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! I'm pretty sure I will keep him.

19 bucks to go to the top? feh!
i use to work on the 40th floor. the ONLY good thing was going up there for free every day.
Also good was having the tour guide license when i got into everything for free. those days are long gone :(

i was wondering where Koenig's Globe was now - thanks1

great PHOTOS!

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

I couldn't believe that. I mean, except for that and the Liberty/Ellis Island tour, nothing was that expensive.

Koenig's Globe is right in the front of Battery Park, heading back to the Staten Island Ferry. I guess it's been there for a while?

Thanks :) I had a lot more fun than I expected.

Looks like you had a fabulous time!

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

I did!

[lauraxmarie.livejournal.com]

We both have nifty photos from the weekend. Yay!

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yay, awesome week-ends! Are yours on Teh Facebookz?

I love seeing all your pictures. I have always wanted to go to NYC, but I have only made to upstate New York.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

This was actually the first time I'd ever been to NYC and it was a lot of fun. Next time we go, I will bring my good camera, though.

Upstate NY is fun, too, though. We used to go to Lake George a lot when I was a kid.

[amity26.livejournal.com]

It looks like you two had a blast there.
My friend went to college in Syracuse and I went to visit her there once and we drove up to Montreal as well.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

Montreal is awesome! I haven't been there in ages.

[amity26.livejournal.com]

It was really fun and so different to go there than to British Columbia. We went to a really cool underground shopping mall that was three stories.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

We did a lot of the tour-type things when I was there. They were excavating Vieux Montreal (city under the city) when I was there and that was so cool to see. There's a drop dead gorgeous basilica there too.

There's a ghost bike in Boston @ Northeastern... really sad :(

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize they were in Boston too. It was very sad.

[wickedshadow.livejournal.com]

All of a sudden, I like ghost bikes and I don't know why.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

I was kind of fascinated by them. I'd never seen one before.

Your photos are gorgeous!! Also, Empire State Building is only worth it at night when you can see the lights. It's gorgeous then.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Next time I go back, I am definitely bringing my good camera.

Your photos from CT were great too!
