I don't want to forget some places I've been while in the city. Just got some updating done. Tomorrow we head to NY for a couple of doctor appointments....I must map out our day being I have an appointment at 10:15 another at 4:15.
View from the Boat Basin Cafe by the Hudson River. Take 79th street to the end and you'll find it by the river.

I'm not Episcopalian - but this church is absolutely beautiful to see and pray in- there is such a presence there.
St. Bartholomew's Church

All religions welcomed here
There is also a shopping area set-up during the Christmas holiday here
I Loved this church because of the huge praying angel inside
I guess they also filmed a scene from the movie Salt in the church
Here's the picture I took of the angel when I was there in December

This is an adorable church- it's so sweet and calming. I attended mass here with my mom.
Grocery Stores- Well the Food Emporium right under the Queensboro bridge is so cool to visit the prices are high. I ended up going to a cheaper market called
Gristedes
1208 1st Avenue & 65th

Duane Reed is also right on 1st....their housewares items are down stairs. These 2 places were convenient because I would pass by on my way to and from treatment.
There is also a Dunkin Doughnuts on the way ;)
Carmines Restaurant is a great place to eat for 4 or more people because it is family style.
For Chinese on the West Side while shopping around 6th Ave- The Main Noodle has yummy food!

The absolute BEST ITALIAN FOOD IS AT
Angelo's in Little Italy!
It is the oldest Italian restaurant in Little Italy
My fav - I love puttanesca sauce! The broccoli rabe is awesome - oh an order the anti-pasta appetizer!
If you don't want to spend that much and maybe can't get in I also love BenitoII...the guy out front is wonderful and the food is good!

Where I stayed while in treatment:
Bridge Suites (they are right near the Queensboro Bridge)
It's a walk up so no elevator- we had to ask for a lower floor. All the rooms are different so make sure you get a decent room. I was in room 121 and it was very nice. I dealt with Sammy O. - he is the nicer of the men I dealt with. These Suits are located at 60th ave and Rads treatment is on 67th so the walk was great.
Like I was told the fruits and veggies on the street are the cheapest and oh so good.
Another note- NYC has better tap water- great article!
My new favorite bridge
The Queensboro Bridge- read all about her!
Here's a book worth checking out:
Well some more places I would like to remember in the city:
I linked to their websites- there is usually more than one location in the city
Conway (cheapo clothing store)- you have to get to Conway- it's a discount shoppers paradise. My sister-in-law calls it disposable clothes.
Filene's Basement- where bargains are born- they are my favorite for shoes
Loehmann's- the it store for designer fashions
Daffy's- high fashion low prices- Daffy's is my favorite!
Ricky's- one stop super shop for all things beauty- need a beauty product this is the place- I found my false lashes, ear lifts and even nipple covers here!
Pylones- this place is just plain fun stuff for everyone- unique gifts
take this for example
For the person who has everything:
An egg cup with a spoon and little tool to crack your egg
