:)New York, here I come! I am now counting the days for our trip to New York. Will be going in about a month. First, we will be stopping in Mahopac to visit our son, then Throggs Neck in the Bronx to visit an old friend from Parkchester where we both had lived, and then onto the Island where our family are from. My Mom is still alive. She's 87. Can't wait to see her. Also, besides family and friends will visit with the people I worked with at the Village of Patchogue for 20 years. Always have a good time when I visit with them - can't believe I'm retired from there since 2004. Love going to Long Island in the fall. We always wind up going out East pumpkin picking, the wineries and just enjoying the scenery and places where we went to for years. Can't wait!!!@

:)It's great seeing Oakdale and Shirley pop up from you guys. Went to Smith's Point alot when I lived on the Island. Usually when we go to the Island on one of our trips, we always have to check out Smith's Point. Had alot of fun there.

I would love to spend Christmas in New York. Radio City, Rockefeller Center, Macy's Windows and St. Patrick's Cathedral. This was a tradition in my family every Christmas when we were growing up.

:)Me too Lenny. I just love New York at Christmastime.
I worked at 30 Rockefeller Center, so when I would come out of work every night, I would see the tree right before me - it was beautiful. Loved watching the people skating at the rink too. Also, on our trip to NYC during the season, we would go all around the city. See the windows decorated and go the St. Patrick's Cathedral. Always went to the Christmas show at Radio City too.
I don't think there's another place that I would rather be at Christmastime than NYC.
However, I must say Chicago does come close, but memories are that of New York at Christmastime!
