New York City: 30 Rock, Times Square, the Harry Potter store, and of course, ZABAR’S
Times Square and 30 Rock, to the world's greatest toy store. FAO Schwarz isn't a regular store; there are people inside doing magic tricks and cool demos. It takes alllll your willpower to walk out without buying everything.
WHY are foods with a face so darn cute? It should be barbaric!You wait until the water pauses, then you can hop into the middle of the fountain.I hadn't realized this was a thing, there are people dressed in costumes in Times Square who are kind of aggressive about grabbing you for a photo and you paying them.
Keep scrolling if you're not into Harry Potter (COME ON NOW). We couldn't go to NYC without stopping at the Harry Potter store, across the street from the Flatiron. When it opened last summer, you had to make a reservation to even get in. Now you can just walk in, but it is still PACKED. So many fun visuals.
Big shoes to fill.Mirror of Erised!
Theodore Roosevelt's home. He wasn't in.
This lovely brownstone in Manhattan is Theodore Roosevelt's birthplace. Even as a kid, he loved animals and nature.
"Oy vey, the city in August!" Despite the heat, an older gentleman next to us was dressed in a tan suit for his Zabar's run. We weren't in suits, and we were definitely toasty by the time we trekked to the Upper West Side. But knishes!
I kind of love how New Yorkers have no boundaries. A well-dressed older woman walked into the kitchen behind the meat counter insisting they had salmon spread or whatever, even though the nice man behind the counter tried to tell her, "Ma'am, you can't be back there."We saw these Zabar's bags all over the city. For 25 cents, you can become a walking Zabar's ad too.It's about time these kids got introduced to knishes.
