David and I walked Carroll Gardens a little and picked up breakfast. First stop was Smith Canteen for coffee and breakfast biscuits, then juice at Bagels by the Park
In a previous post, I told you about what ‘r’s top thing to experience was eating NY pizza. ‘A’s answer was to skate under Prometheus at Rockefeller Center. When we started researching this option, we discovered that it was going to be expensive and crowded. We were all willing to do it, but Antee Sara threw out the other option of skating at Central Park instead. ‘A’ was excited to just skate and said he’d be happy to skate there instead. I am so glad we did this instead. It was an incredibly gorgeous location, was reasonably priced, as although busy, not uncomfortably crowded. Sara and David sat it out and took pictures while the three of us skated…
After skating, hiking up the rocks of Central Park. The south skating rink in the background…
Walked through the Upper East Side to Patsy’s Pizza. Around since 1933, this is where Frank Sinatra would eat whenever he was in town. ‘R’ is crazy for Ceasar salad and pizza. He was a happy camper…
Too many gorgeous architectural elements to capture on film…
Back at Central Park. This is the statue of ‘Balto’, a famous sled dog. We have read a book about him when the kids were younger…
Bubble art in the park…
I love Central Park! We only covered a small part of it, but I hope to return and spend more time here. While at Belvedere Castle, we enjoyed watching a group of adults play “ninja”. This is a game the boys like to play. 
Back at home, this is the view from Sara’s roof…
Dinner at Cubana Cafe. The best ceviche I have had!
Dessert of italian cookies at Monteleone. Beautiful pastries and cookies made on site.
