Day 4: NYE. Japan>New York>Carolina's

December 31, 2012


Papaya Dog for breakfast. 




I've finally figured out this thing. 



 Next stop, Dylan's Candy Bar



This was Time Square by  1pm.





Companies should stop making things white and slap Pearl on the label.
It's misleading.


Red Velvet Cheese Cake from Juniors. 


This idea was cute, but the presentation was sloppy.
Seems pretty popular. Each cupcake is only 50 calories. 


After a nap it was off to bring in 2013.

Day 3: Introduction to Soul Food: Japan>New York>Carolina's

December 30th, 2012


I always have a good time in Harlem. These little ones were educating Atsuko on Thomas the Train. 



One of my favorite bloggers met us for brunch at 
Amy Ruth's



  This is Atsuko's first experience with Soul Food!


 Chicken, Waffles, and Cornbread all topped with Maple syrup.



 It's always a pleasure hanging out with Brian. 
His blog is: http://nodebtworldtravel.com
I am trying to get him to come and take a tour of the Old/ New South.




Hanging out in Harlem



Next stop  shopping on 5th Ave.


 Atsuko holding our itinerary. Next time, I plan to actually follow it.
Mon, would have been proud!


 A good sale on 5th Ave is always Serious Matter. 


While Atsuko was shopping, I was taking pictures in Henri Bendel

I love this picture! I like to think he was reading a letter from his favorite girl!

" The mission of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is to honor our heroes, educate the public and inspire our youth. As an educational and cultural not-for-profit institution centered on the aircraft carrier Intrepid, a National Historic Landmark, the Museum is dedicated to promoting the awareness and understanding of history, science and service through its collections, exhibitions and programming. " ( Taken from the website)

Due to the weather, we were able to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, but could not see the river.

We ended today with shoe shopping and Coming to America on Netflix.  
The jet-lag caught up with Atsuko.
