The New York Minute Show

On a warm summer day last August the family went to Central Park and our daughter got to experience the lovely and classic Central Park Carousel. The carousel in Central Park is a real fun experience for both kids and adults.

Fellow New York City podcaster Frank Nora has started a series of videos that he calls InRamble. Frank gives some nice, short glimpses of the city in his videos. In the clip below he gives you a view of Times Square.

In another recent episode Frank gives you a glimpse of his ride on a subway train.

Another video blogger that I follow has posted a review of a Manhattan restaurant called Trata Estiatorio. Trata Estiatorio is a seafood restaurant on the Upper East Side. Looks like a good place to get a bite to eat.

The Hotel Gansevoort is a very hip place in a very hot location. Rooms are sure to be priced accordingly.

I took a stroll for some holiday shopping in the Meatpacking District of New York City yesterday. I took this video clip at 9th Avenue and Little West 12th St. Things have changed a bit since I made a stop there for an earlier podcast. A new building is up. And there are new restaurants. Not too far away form where this was shot there is a new Apple Store at the corner of 14th St. and 9th Ave.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

I was walking to Pennsylvania Station the other day and noticed that the scaffolding had come down from the main branch of the post office in New York. So I stopped for a few moments and took a video.

Madison Square Garden bills itself as the world’s greatest arena. I’m sure that assertion could start a good argument. There’s no denying that MSG is a top shelf venue. Bands know they’ve made it to the big time when they sell out at The Garden. For bands like The Police selling out MSG is easy.

I’ve seen many great shows at The Garden including, Billy Joel, Billy Joel & Elton John, The Who (giving away my age here) U2, and now The Police. Here’s a clip from the show last night. If you come to New York City I definitely recommend seeing a music show at MSG if at all possible.

Spend a few minutes with the sea lions at the Central Park Zoo. They have twice-a-day feedings at the pool in the middle of the zoo. The crowds can get large, especially in the summer when the weather is warm and the kids are off from school.
