The Church of the Most Precious Blood Update

The Church of the Most Precious Blood was closed when I found it. So I couldn't go in and take a look around. I guess I will have to wait for the 82nd Annual Feast of San Gennaro to enjoy its beauty and history.

This festival looks like so much fun. I have heard from a few other ChaCha'ers that it is awesome.

Piccolo

I love Piccolo. The food was awesome, the service was very good and the atmosphere, quaint... Will go back!


We just finished a long day of traveling and a meeting with Dr. Bruckner. We were hungry and never in the city before. Lovely lady from clinic suggested Piccolo. It was close to clinic on next corner. Looking at the place I probably would have walked passed it without even going in. I learned very quickly that these little restaurants are fabulous and worth venturing into.

I had Chicken Piccolo. It was delicious! Presentation was also very appealing to the eye. Prices were moderate and worth it. I did take a picture of what I had to eat but deleted it some how. It was pretty!

Another point I love about the restaurants, they all post their menu outside before you go in so you can get an idea of what they offer and the price range.

Getting ready for another NYC adventure! Might go visit Little Italy this time and The Church of the Most Precious Blood

I was reading up on San Gennaro and it is very interesting. I love the story about his blood.

First Picture

This picture, The Empire State Building, was the very first picture that I took in NYC. I just came out of the tunnel, turned down Dryer Ave to 34th Street. I was in awe of all the people and activity. I kept driving as I was fumbling with my bag looking for my camera. I finally pulled it out and took this picture through the windshield. I was totally looking like a tourist. It is by far my favorite picture. Every time I drive into the city This is the first building I see in the distance. It makes me smile knowing I am almost there. My mother also loves this building and loves driving down 34th Street.

A little history:

Dryer Ave

Dyer Avenue is named after General George Rathborne Dyer, who was the chairman of the board of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and died while the Lincoln Tunnel was under construction.

Empire State Building

Construction of the Empire State Building began in March of 1930 on the site of the old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel at 350 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street. It was completed 14 months later in May, 1931. Designed by the architectural firm of Shreve, Lamb, & Harmon Associates, the Empire State Building, at 102 stories, was the tallest building in the world until the completion of the first tower of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan in 1972.

I <3 NYC

I absolutely love NYC. I love it so much that I have decided to blog about my weekly adventures there. I am amazed at how many awesome things there are to do. Just wandering down a street you stumble upon many awesome restaurants, cozy hotels, historical sites and so much more. It is impossible to be bored with NYC.

I always dreamed of going to see "The Big Apple." Unfortunately that dream was realized when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. It is because of her condition that I ventured into this wonderful place.

I am now in love with it. I love everything about it. I love the architecture, the people, the history, the food carts on the corner. So, with all that said, I have decided to share my adventures. Share the hotels and restaurants that I get to experience. I think this will be loads of fun.

I hope someone finds this entertaining, fun and maybe even useful. Enjoy!
