New York City, Part 2

The next day was spent in Midtown Manhattan.  Once again we hit all the touristy spots (of which I didn't take many pictures for some reason.  Probably because I already took pictures of them all when we went to New York before).  We walked from Juilliard down Broadway to Times Square.  Then walked to the New York city Library, down to the Empire State building, back up to the Rockefeller Center, across the street to St. Patrick's Cathedral, picked up a hot dog from a street vendor, made our way to Grand Central Station, across Manhattan to the United Nations building, up to Dylan's Candy Bar on our way to Central Park, cut through Central Park on our way to Levain Bakery (the real reason for Katie going to New York), back down to Times Square where we ate dinner at Ben's Delicatessen (awesome pastrami!) and finally picked up cheesecake to go at Juniors before sprinting back to the car so we didn't get charged extra.  Whew, what an exhausting day.  Previously when Katie and I had gone to New York, we did a similar walking route and I think the tally was somewhere around 15 miles of walking.

The one thing that we did that Katie and I had never done before was go to the top of the Rockefeller Tower, where I took these panoramas:
