Merril needed to pick up a car for Shota in New Jersey. He asked Maxine if she wanted to ditch the last day of school before Christmas and take a little tour of New York and Washington D.C. and then help him drive home. She jumped at the opportunity to see New York.
They went to the top of the Empire State Building!
They found some authentic New York-style pizza on the way to Time Square. This place, Joe's Pizza, is supposed to be the best pizza in the area near Time Square, according to an app recommended by a Lyft driver in Las Vegas.
Macy's was near Time Square.
This is the 19 that will be added to the 2019 up where the ball drops on New Year's Eve.
Here's Rockefeller Center.
The ice skating rink.
St. Patrick's Cathedral. It's right by Rockefeller Center.
They found the missionaries at the Manhattan Temple and bought some little fishes at the giving machines. The fishes will go to a struggling family so they can start a fish farm and support themselves with food.
Maxine said she walked right past the temple. The Manhattan Temple really blends in.
They caught the Staten Island Ferry to go past the Statue of Liberty.
Visited the World Trade Center Memorial.
And Wall Street.
They ate fabulous pastrami at Katz' Deli.
Back to Times Square at night. Maxine was super excited to see the theatre where Hamilton performs.
Grand Central station was the last stop.
Merril's tracker said they walked 15 miles. Maxine was dead. She said she barely slept on the red eye flight. They headed back to New Jersey to sleep at their AirBnB.
