Wednesday we took the double-
decker tour of Downtown NYC. We stopped at Ground Zero (not much to see there), the Brooklyn Bridge (above), and wandering around the shops in Soho.
I love this display in the window of a clothing store. Inside the walls were decorated with hundreds of antique
overside spools.
I got to go inside
Aero, the store of one of my favorite designers, Thomas O'Brien. I actually saw Mr. O'Brien there but would not be so obnoxious as to ask for his picture. I should have done it anyway, right? This chair in his store is a vintage chair he found, painted, and recovered. I thought it would be so perfect at our desk...until I was told the price. Just $5500.00!
In the evening, we took a cruise around the south end of Manhattan and Liberty Island. It rained and rained on us.
At about 10:00pm, after the cruise, we wandered around looking for a place to eat. We were wearing tacky ponchos the tour bus gave us earlier that day. We didn't look like tourists at all! We found this amazing
restaraunt and even though we came in dripping wet, the waiter was very nice. We had licorice creme brulee and peach cheesecake for dessert.
