I walked until my feet hurt. I photographed EVERYTHING in sight. I ate some of the most delicious food. I walked some more. OK, walking was all we did for 4 days but still, NYC was a heckuva vacation with my former co-workers, VJ and JWingo.
There were many highlights: my first MLB experience with the Mets, seeing Rockafellar with my own eyes, Times Square at night, Central Park, 5 Napkin Burger… But seeing Dave Letterman’s Late Show was topping the list. And Dave was GREAT!!!
Disappointment only settled in once the show was ending and I realized that Dave didn’t do the Top 10 – he spent all of that time razzing the newly weds in the audience. Boo, Dave. Good thing John Goodman was a helluva guest because I might have been heart broken if all we heard was razzing, the little Irish comedian and Mastadon’s hell bent music. So to make myself happy, I compiled my own Top 10 list to honor my first trip to the Big Apple.
