New York City!

Our kids visited NYC for a few days. It's all about the food.  They can take amazing photos with their iPhones.



The UN




The library


They had duck in a restaurant called Decoy!


Anther restaurant, the Chef's Tasting Menu: caviar tartare, langoustine, sea trout, dover sole, monkfish, lobster, quince, citrus.


They went to the Daily Show, with Trevor Noah! I taped it, they were in the top corner, just off the screen, on the left.


The Empire State Building



Their hotel, from the Empire State Building.


They came home during a major storm, Sunday. We had 21 cm. New York had 2", and they cancelled their direct flight from EWR to YOW. Instead of the later flight, they had to leave at 7:30 a.m. to go from EWR => YYZ, then YYZ to YOW. It wasn't a long stop in Toronto, as their plane was late arriving, and then they were able to board. The snow was quite something.


The plane had to detour, many flights were delayed, the airport backed up.



I was watching the flight tracker and they kept delaying the 12:10 flight from YYZ to YOW.
Next, it was 12:20 departure. Then, 12:50, then 1:00 p.m. At 1 p.m., Caitlin said they were in a fueling delay! I was worried, since the government shutdown has impacted travel in the US. They finally took off!

It kept getting delayed!
