I forgot i was going to post some pictures from my trip. Thanks for getting back to me on it.

New York was great. I was very impressed with how the city functions, its cleanliness, the history, the subway, everything.

The first day (Sunday) the wife and I went to the Natural History Museum and strolled through Central Park ending the day eating at a nice little pub.

Monday I went to the parade and learned the subways. I went to a pub called McSoreleys. It was awesome and I partied a bit with the locals. That night we ordered pizza.

Tuesday I did ground zero and St. Pauls. I took the Path to Hoboken just to say I did it. I explored all day and that night the wife and I went to a really nice Italian place in Little Italy.

Wednesday I went to Wall Street and down to the piers. I went to Battery Park, St Patricks and Rockefeller Center. I also went to Brooklyn in search of a steak house called Peter Lugers but couldn't find it. That evening we went to Rosie O'Grady's in Times Square and strolled around.

Anyways I really liked New York, its heads and shoulders above my last trip to San Fransisco. Nice city and I will try to figure out how to post some pics on line and then to FR.

I'm glad you had a good trip. I'm from NYC and after just completing a six month family genealogy project I'm really looking forward to my next visit.
I discovered both my Irish and German ancestors immigrated in the mid 1800s to the Lower East Side and lived within 6-8 blocks of each other.
I'm sure my Irish gg-grandfather had a pint (or two) at Mcsorley's and I'll be sure to do the same in his honor. That you were there on St. Patrick's Day had to be quite "stimulating."
