The Lewis Boys Do New York

This past weekend, the Lewis boys visited New York City. We left O'Hare on a 7:05 am flight to begin the whirlwind two day trip. I wouldn't have thought we could squeeze so much into two days. Our hotel was at Grand Central Station, which worked out well. We were able to see Times Square, Broadway (Dad and I saw Spamalot), the Ed Sullivan Theater, China Town, Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Radio City, Rockefellar Center, Central Park, and Yankee Stadium. Thats a lot for two days, and believe me we felt it. Dad even had to turn in early both days to nap, leaving us crazy kids on our own in the Big Apple. We had dinner the first night at a delicious little place in Little Italy, where we had two bottles of wine between the four of us. For lunch the next days we had a slice at two different pizza places. Joe's Pizza, recommended by Kelly Ripa (yes, of Regis and Kelly) and seen in the hit film Spiderman. We also tried Ray's. Now I know what you are asking yourself...is that Famous Ray's or Original Ray's? Well, it was Famous Original Ray's. As much fun as we had, I still think that Chicago is the city of cities in this country.
