NYC October 2009

Here we are in Washington Square. What a beautiful clear day in NYC. Our good friends Ellen and Joel took us to the city today. We drove to Hoboken and then took the Path Train into the World Trade Center and then walked A LOT!
Ellen and Joel took us to the famous WoHop chinese restaurant in China Town. This little basement restaurant has some of the best Chinese you will ever eat. It is famous for being referred to in movies like Miss Congeniality.
It was so much fun to eat here and experience a new place!

Okay now this was weird! We walked through China Town and saw things we have never seen before like......deer tendons for $28.00/lb. And dried scallops for $50/lb. Then we walked into one of the stores and saw jars of abalone for $888.00/lb. When we asked what it was we were told it was a very healthy sea creature and when made in some kind of soup/stew the Chinese find it a medicinally healthy broth for good health! I think I would have a heart attack paying that much for a dried sea creature! :)

Next time we are going to eat in Little Italy on the sidewalk cafes and then go here for dessert! :) I can't wait for our next trip...
