New York Day 1

The weather today is beautiful! It's 75 degrees and breezy here in Manhattan. We started the day with brunch at a little dive called Smith and Wills. It only seated 35 people (I've been told those places are the best here in NY). I ordered the burger. It was amazing and would rival any of the burgers on our burger tour so far. We had a chocolate and sea salt mousse for dessert that was also fabulous.

We breezed by Central Park briefly to get on the subway. We got our metro cards and headed out to Tribeca. We walked around Battery Park and and the waterfront and up to the Freedom Tower and the 911 Memorial. We walked up through the financial district and just explored that area. Super fun for the first little outing. Also the Warwick is lovely.

We went down to Time Square and Hell's Kitchen for dinner and an adventure this evening. We very much agree with the locals about Time Square - avoid it completely. We found a gigantic Hershey's store and M&M store, basically amazing. And we had to have pizza for dinner. Just so good, I could probably eat it every night.
