On my way to the Big Apple 
With time to spare at the airport I stopped for a morning coffee:
At the gate:
After an uneventful flight 
I had made plans to spend the day with my buddy Andy.
He was kind enough to have a car waiting for at the airport and I had a chance to see a few sights on the drive over!
The old & new Yankee Stadium!
After spending the morning and better part of the afternoon with his adorable little girls it was time for some R & R time:
Me, Dante, Zeidenfeld, and, Gurkha, LOL!!
This was on Andy's wrist:
Something special and 'unique' about this watch (among other things) is the C1 'matrix' printed on the saphire crystal:
Andy & I:
This morning's watch choice, La Bomba baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stay tuned for more later and have a great Sunday!
Welcome back to my NYC report.
AngeloP was joining me on Sunday & was waiting for him:
Once he arrived we hit the pavement in New York!
One of the first of many stops!
The window-shopping alone was awesome, LOL!!
BBK Ice
Another brand boutique coming soon!
We walked all the way to the Waldorf and found the AD closed, bummer!!! We never made it back again 
It's nice to relax with a nice espresso (even in a paper cup, LOL!!) after a long day
Angelo & I head to for cocktails and dinner on Sunday night:
Roof-to bar at one of the hotels:
Our dinner restaurant on 6th:
A few night shots in Times Square:
I had a Monday morning meeting here:
Our first stop of the day!
Another fellow Risti, Craig Leuzzi, also stopped by to say hello
Although it may be hand-stitched, I find this uneven stitching unacceptable. Do you agree?
