This Week's Prompts:  Starts with "N." A Favorite. "N"ecessary. Reflections and Street/Candid Captures. 
_ _ _ _

 

Starts with "N":  New York City starts with "N".  We enjoyed our visit back in 2008.  We've been there a few other times, once we took our younger daughter back when she was in the fifth grade. 


A Favorite:   We liked the New York's "Hello Deli"; it was David Letterman's Favorite restaurant.  And it was just around the corner from the Ed Sullivan Theater where his program was broadcast.



"N"ecessary:  Taxicab's were Necessary in NYC.  Of course most all here walk a lot, a lot of places we want are often far apart.  And of course parking down town is very expensive and the taxis, busses, and the subway are very reasonably priced.  Many families do not have a car, not needed.  

Oh, yes.  We didn't find our what the NYPD was parked here for.



Lagniape #1: Cathy Lee was being interviewed out here in NBC's patio.



Lagniape #2:   Nice horses were pulling the carriages through NYC's Central Park.

Reflections and Street/Candid Captures: 
   
Our long and winding walk on New Year's Day (five years after New Year of the part above) New Zealand, down the hill (we paid for a ride up) took us through the Wellington Botanical Gardens.  The flowers were in bloom (their January 1 in the Southern Hemisphere is like our July 1 here) and all was cared for very well. This family seemed to be enjoying themselves.

...we live 350 mile from NEW York City and I've been there twice. Jim, you sure have me beat. Having a car in the city is not an asset. Thanks for stopping by, take care and be well.
 
I've never been there but my sister lived there for 5 years, she saw 9/11 when it happened.
 
NYC is one of my favourite cities in the world! I would love to spend six months there.
