New York Day 2!

We started out Day 2 with what else, but doughnuts!  But not just any doughnuts, these are the best you've ever experienced.  We took the subway to the Doughnut Plant near Brooklyn.   

 It was a tiny place with oh so yummy breakfast.

 What's this?  But of course a pb&j doughnut.  :)

mmmm mmmm.  seriously - if we had our own plane we would totally fly back just to eat here.

 We decided we just have bad luck with subways.  Sometimes our card wouldn't work...

 Sometimes one of us got locked out... and sometimes we just took the wrong train...

After our accidental trip to Brooklyn, we headed to the financial district and checked out the 9/11 memorial.  

 

 Then we walked to Chinatown for lunch

and stopped by the fire station

 After lunch we headed back toward the Seaport area

 and took a little boat ride

 Ellis Island

 Brooklyn bridge

delicious dinner in Little Italy.  We actually ate at this exact restaurant almost 9 years before when we were in NYC for the first time.  We had no idea what it was called, but I really wanted to try to find it, and we did! 

We tried to get the little Italian man to take our picture outside the restaurant but it was an epic failure.  oh well.  :)

After dinner we took the right subway back to 5th Ave for a little shopping.

 FAO Schwarz was decked out for Christmas

then the 24-hour Apple store

 this place was packed!  at like 10pm. 

 

 Then we enjoyed a walk back to our hotel

and some cannolis from Little Italy :)

phew!  just one more day (and a little more food) to go!
