Was that the Woolworth building, I don't remember. I've never been to N.Y. but it seems like it's very small with everything packed together. I'm curious as to how long the tour was.<BR/>Another great post.

I am a New Yorker, raised on Long Island, worked on Wall Street and lived on the upper East side, and in Brooklyn for a short time. Your tour took me down familiar streets and brought back oodles of fond memories. Thanks, now all I need is a steamed pork bun from China Town and I'll be all set. karenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-7009410599834864432008-05-08T16:29:00.000-04:002008-05-08T16:29:00.000-04:00Again, WOW!

We spent all 4 days touring the city. Loved the buildings, the architecture, the food and taking in all the sites. This post was like taking a little trip back in time! Yes, your husband's little cubicle doesn't look as glamarous as the outisde of those huge skyscrapers! ha-ha.<BR/>Thanks for sharing!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-50077930600196462632008-05-08T14:06:00.000-04:002008-05-08T14:06:00.000-04:00Hi Pat!Once again you have outdone yourself with a...Hi Pat!<BR/>Once again you have outdone yourself with an incredibly educating and most interesting post!! Even knowing how historical NYC is, I'm amazed at how much is there. I really enjoyed hearing about the old Burroughs after seeing The Gangs of NY. Then and now is pretty different!! You take fabulous photos Pat. And as always bring them all to life! Thanks for the great tour. I'm getting more and more excited about a future trip to NYC, only thing is you'd have to spend a month there to see everything!!<BR/>Hugs, SherryEdie Marie's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497518764917499463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-26560938399246458722008-05-08T12:43:00.000-04:002008-05-08T12:43:00.000-04:00What a grand tour you took with the Onion people. ...What a grand tour you took with the Onion people. ;D It really makes me want to visit NYC again. I think I could take a much more knowledgeable approach this time and see things a bit more off the beaten path as they say.<BR/><BR/>I also think that the history of the early department stores is fascinating. May have to check that out more. <BR/><BR/>As for the corruption, I'll prefer to think on the lovely things about NYC. <BR/><BR/>Oh, I did enjoy your dh's office pic and am so glad that he is one of the lucky ones with a window and something of a view as well.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-22845897506393334102008-05-08T09:56:00.000-04:002008-05-08T09:56:00.000-04:00Thank you for another wonderful tour.

It's rather scary that a little 65 year old grandma from Colorado/Utah is familiar with 90% of the places in this recent post. I'll be working my way through your past posts to get my N.Y. fix. I visit with friends two weeks a year and my favorite activity is just walking the streets. My favorite area is Lower East Side and I always go to the Tenement Museum. Thanks for a great blog.<BR/>JudyGrand Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237731075374393687noreply@blogger.com
