On Sunday afternoon, we walked to 5th Avenue. We were staying on 7th Avenue. In case you aren't familiar with NYC, the small number streets (like 5th & 7th) are LONG blocks apart while the higher number streets (in our area, at least), like 51st & 52nd are SHORT blocks. Anyway, we walked 2 long blocks to 7th Avenue to do a little shopping. Alex had spent all of her birthday money at American Girl Place, but we wanted to treat her to something at FAO Schwarz. What a huge toy store!
I don't know what building this is, but it had various animal photos in each window. Of course, I loved it and had to have a photo!
We walked back to Rockefeller Center, this time with hubby along. Alex and my husband watched the skaters while I did some quick shopping at The Met store nearby. We also went into the NBC store.
Rockefeller Center is actually set back from 5th Avenue - kind of between 5th & 6th, but you can see it from 5th. I love all of the flags around the sunken skating rink.
For lunch, my husband and I got hot dogs at a food cart. I figured I had to have at least one while I was in NYC! Alex doesn't care much for hot dogs, so we stopped and got her some KFC. (Alex took this photo - she did a great job, didn't she?)
After our walk, we rested for awhile and then Alex and I went off by ourselves...
Next up: MoMA (Museum of Modern Art)

We had fun there too. It's so neat to see where you went cause we were just there. The NBC store was cool.
The place with all of the animal prints looks so cool. I am loving all of the little food vendors. MMM!
Sounds like a great trip!
My daughters would spend all their $ in American Girl store too ;)
What a day! What a trip! It looks like you're hitting all the highlights of NYC. How many days were you there? I can't remember.
