New Year in New York 2

Have you heard of the saying that whatever you are doing on New Year's day will be what you will do in the coming new year. It seemed true for us, because on New Year's last year, we were also in New York! (Read about our New Year's Day last year here)

As before, we took the train from New Jersey (Metropark station) to NY Penn Station. We got to New York at about lunch time and we walked up from NY Penn to Times Square. It was so cold we couldn't feel our toes by the time we reached Times Square, so we had to thaw at Dean and Deluca where we met our gracious hosts and dear friends DL and husband RL. To welcome us, they treated us to Max Brenner chocolate drinks which were perfect for the freezing weather. Next stop was the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade where we saw the famous Brooklyn Bridge for the first time, and we had a great time taking pictures until it was too dark.
For dinner, we were so lucky to be invited to the L family's New Year's dinner in Manhattan, where RL's mom and sister cooked everything, and all the dishes were so delicious E and I helped ourselves to 3 servings! (yup, matagal nang nasira ang diet ko!)

Three servings? Totoo ba 'yan? As I recall, you were quite content eating delicate portions. Glad you enjoyed din-din at my in-laws. They were very happy to spend time with you and Pogi.

Yes, D, three servings. I loved the spinach dish so much! And of course the rest of the dishes.
