'tis the season

My parents came to the city last week for a long weekend. Despite the chilly temps we had a nice time experiencing "New York City at Christmas." We saw the Radio City Rockettes, ate a few exotic meals (Japanese Ramen was a big hit), did a little shopping, and walked many many miles.

Korean BBQ (I think we had more fun taking pictures of the little side dishes than actually eating the food)

Connecticut Visit

Last month I took the train to Fairfield, CT to visit an old friend from high school. This was my first time ever traveling north of New York City.

2010 NYC Marathon!

No, we didn't participate but we did see some super fast runners. 

Professional men- the winner ran the race in about 2 hours.
