After a killer breakfast ( a huge bagel with Scrambled Eggs, Cheddar, Bacon and a whole lot of grease ) we walked to Times Square. It's such a sight... We've been there before, but it never gets old. The lights, the noise, the tourists. Like!
We sat on the stairs for a bit until our senses hit overload. We went to Grand Slam and bought a NY Yankees original cap for one of Popcorn's colleagues. We had to restrain the urge to buy shirts, number plates and tea mugs with 'I ♥ New York' on it, but we went out without.

After that we wanted to see the city from another point of view. Literally. We would've loved to climb either the Empire state of Chrysler building, but we couldn't figure out which one of them is off limit to visitors. So instead we opted for the easy alternative - Rockefeller center. We stood on top of the rock once before and it was only a couple of blocks away.
The view was even better than the first time, because of the weather. The clear sky made it possible to see into the distance and distinguish all sorts of NY attractions from afar. It wasn't even cold and windy up there!

After Rockefeller we went to Greenwich again. I think we've been to Greenwich every day of our stay. To walk, experience and to eat. We 'uptowners' like Greenwich best.
We went to Pizza Roma on Bleecker street and I guess I will go back to that place as often as I can for the rest of my life! The finest pinot Grigio and Italian delicacies can be found here. And the most AMAZING Eggplant parmigiana! Homemade! It almost made me cry happy tears.. And I'm not exaggerating.

After fueling up at Roma, we walked Bleecker Street... I gaped at designer boutiques, MAC and NARS stores and of course the sweet and savory goodies of Magnolia Bakery.

That night we ate at Soba again ( domo arigato goizaimasu! ) and got to bed soon after that. Because of our extensive walks, we got a little more tired every day... So by the end of monday all we wanted to do was to sit and watch New York life pass us by. We were spectators in a big theatrical show called day to day NY life. There's so much to be seen... even if you choose to sit in one place.

One more day to go before going home... Days fly by when having fun!
