Day 4: New York, NY

This city is too big and has too much to see, that we will need to stay here for another day and night (not to mention, we need to wait somewhere until our next destination's baseball team comes into town!).
We will enjoy a partial sleep-in today as the night before will be a late night and get our day started around 10 AM with a quick glimpse up-close of the third largest skyscraper in New York, the Chrysler Building. After we mosey on over to 'Ground Zero' and see the area that the massive Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre once stood on, we will head to lunch.

We will go to the famous Katz's Delicatessen to enjoy their signature kosher-style smoked meat sandwiches piled high in between two pieces of rye bread. I am very interested to see how it compares to Schwartz's Delicatessen in Montreal.
After our huge lunch we will want to walk off the loads of food inside our stomach's through the city's wonderful Central Park, a gorgeous 843-acre rectangle with tons  of foliage, joggers, bikers and strollers to discover. There are ice-rinks in the winter, bands playing, zoos, and even boat races. To kill the rest of the afternoon we will visit Canal Street to check out the deals, before heading back to the hotel to get ready for dinner.

As New York City has one of the higher concentrations of famous chefs in the world, it would be silly to tour the city and not experience one of their restaurants. We will be attending Morimoto NYC owned and operated by Masaharu Morimoto where we will no doubt see celebrities and locals mingling among the sushi, sashimi and other asian delights that this chef brings to a new level.


After dinner, we will subway downtown to see a Broadway show, Rock of All Ages, at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. This show will catch out interest as we love rock and roll and once again, is one of the major tourist entertainments. The show will cost us $100 for the cheapest ticket. Hopefully it's worth it!
