NYC weekend

We're taking advantage of our vicinity to NYC, and spent the weekend there last weekend. What fun now that we know our way around! We walked all over - despite it being a rainy weekend - and were able to explore a few new neighborhoods.
New neighborhood #1: Brooklyn!

And we finally got to see the Flatiron building
On our first night, we ended up being convinced to go to a free comedy show...and we ended up being basically the only audience members! It was a bit hit and miss with the comedians, but quite the experience and fun for a free show!
Coney Island Boardwalk
We also did a tour of Brooklyn and stopped at two amazing pizzerias (Grimaldi's and Spumoni Gardens) as well as Coney Island.
The view from Brooklyn!
One of the things we were most looking forward to was seeing the show All The Way...starring Bryan Cranston! We couldn't wait to see "Walt" on Broadway - he played LBJ, and it really was amazing to watch.

After a night at the theater, we weren't feeling a full dinner out, so we had gyros for dinner from a food truck near our hotel...it was SO good, we went back the following day! It's one of our favorite ways to enjoy a unique and cheap meal in New York.
Flower displays at Macy's
However, on our last day, we decided we did want a nice meal and ended up at a fabulous Spanish restaurant for lunch - paella and all!
