omni Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I just happened to arrive here in NYC the day before Obama, Gaddafi & Ahmadinejad address the UN General Assembly this morning. Traffic is a mess and lots of visible security in central Manhattan. Just saw Obama's speech on TV. Lots of demonstrators outside of the UN Building, think we'll avoid and visit the MOMA. Was just checking in as been traveling in Italy all month, as nice as that was, its good to be back in USA. Just a shot from our suite at the Mandarin Oriental. By the way, all the watches on Italians and in their shops are really huge, if they are fashion forward, that should tell you that big watches are here to stay for a while. Laters.

vlydog Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 what a beautiful photo of the NYC skyline! It really makes you long for a stroll in Central Park. Thanks for sharing.
deltatahoe Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 forgot to add -- if you're looking for a solid meal & place for drinks close by, try the hudson cafeteria (at the hudson hotel) -- it's a (very) short walk from your hotel, you can eat outside on their cool patio, and the hangar steak from there is phenomenal deltatahoe

omni Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Posted September 24, 2009 NY, Italy.. life sounds exciting for you Omni. What do you do for a living? Not much now, semi-retired in me 60's. Wife & I planned this trip for a year. We visited my cousins in Sydney last year and they gave us a great new acronym to live by. We are SKINS (Spend-Kids-Inheritance-Now). We are trying our best to be totally monetarily irresponsible in this bad economy by infusing cash stimulus into the system, I think its working.
P4GTR Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 ahaha sounds like fun Omni. Enjoy my friend.
Stephane Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 great hotel choice Omni Dito! I wonder if I ever will have the chance to stay there... I'm so in love with the old fashioned Waldorff Have a great stay in NYC! All the best, Stephane
