"New York, New York" with Frank Sinatra

My First Trip to New York, Part II

The pancake breakfast at the diner in the hotel * Meeting FF (with F-man, E-babe & H-babe) at the Flatiron Building (which unfortunately was covered in scaffolding) 9 o’clock in the morning and having a whole exiting day of a new, big, newly awaked town in front of you * Ground Zero; realizing just how huge the WTC must have been * Century 21 and the first shopping in NYC (a DKNY wallet and two pair of CK underwear) * Abercrombie & Fitch – the best store I went into in NYC – where I bought a sweater and two t-shirts…and regret not buying more * Taking a Vanilla Latte at the end of the Brooklyn Bridge * Canal Street/China Town * Walking along Broadway and jumping in and out of shops * Lunch in SoHo * The first drinks/beers at the Union Square Coffee House Bar * another pre-party at our room * dinner at Charley O’s * overpriced and ultra strong drinks at the (rotating) sky bar at Marion Hotel, with a fabulous view of New York and a drunk F1 * beers at a shabby bar on 9th Avenue with ABBA playing in the jukebox * almost impossible to sleep that night due to the jet lag
