Grand Gestures

Since Victoria just moved here and her boyfriend Ian is still in California, it was time for a grand romantic gesture. I was recruited to help with the project. The project was to go to a bunch of iconic New York locations and Victoria would scream out loud how much she loves Ian. So cute. Sadly, the weather just did not cooperate. It was raining like crazy! So this turned into a grand gesture of friendship on my part :-)

We began our rainy walking tour of New York in Central Park at Belvedere Castle.

Our next stop was The Plaza Hotel:

This very bright sculpture was near The Plaza:

Next up was Radio City Music Hall:
Then Rockefeller Center:
The ice skating rink was more like a lake with all the rain:
Our last stop was the Empire State Building, but on our way the street was blocked off. Turns out someone had jumped from the building, so it was closed and the entire area was blocked off.
So the Empire State Building will have to wait for another day. Victoria took me to dinner at a restaurant called Brendan's Bar and Grill. It was yummy, but a weird place. The entire front area was a bar and everyone was watching hockey, then we ended up at a table around the back. Everything was so close together it felt like Victoria and I were on the dates of the people around us. Good food though. All in all it was a very wet day and we got totally soaked, but it was fun and the end product turned out cute.
