Our first view of NYC came in the form of Grand Central Terminal.
Jason and I stayed outside the city near the New York/Connecticut state line, which means to get into the city we took the commuter train into Grand Central. This place is HUGE and SUPER busy. 
From Grand Central, we took our first of many subway rides. We took the S train, which is a shuttle from GCT to Times Square.
The first thing on our list of things to do was to see a Broadway show...and we did! We even got a great deal on tickets by using the TKTS booth.
The next day was all about seeing as many famous sights as possible. We caught a quick glimpse of The Empire State building from below...we had plans to see the top later in the day.
We walked by The New York Public Library and took a quick picture with either Patience or Fortitude...I'm not sure which is which:)
We walked by Bryant Park. No Fashion Week here, this year it was being held at The Lincoln Center.
Then we took a two hour boat tour around the city and got some great views of the Statue of Liberty,
the NYC skyline,
and Ground Zero.
After the boat tour, we took a quick subway ride over to Brooklyn and then a {not so quick} walk back across the Brooklyn Bridge.
We ended our second night in the city with amazing views from the top of the Empire State Building.
Over the next few days, we checked out some pop culture sights:)
I took some pictures of buildings that I have no idea what their names are...
....and some that everyone knows!
We took a ride to the Top of the Rock,
and saw unbelievable views of the city and Central Park.
After that view, we had to experience a little bit of Central Park on foot too!
We even managed to squeeze in a visit to a museum...
or two.
We saw this masterpiece in person....it is gorgeous!
We ended our trip to NYC with a night at the Waldorf-Astoria.
And this view {out our hotel window} was one of our last views of NYC before heading back to Mississippi.
