Her passenger decks, each named after those movies are decorated with prominently displayed paparazzi photos of movie stars. Carrara marble, Murano-glass accents, in-laid mosaic tile and a Venetian atmosphere are among the many elements that make the Atlantica cruise ship unique from all the rest. From her awe-inspiring replica of Venice's Caffe Florian to her ...

... lovely sunny day. Walked up to Union Square and then jumped on the subway to the Rockefeller Center (a plaza complex designed by John D. Rockefeller) and bought tickets to 'Top of the Rock'. We had read on a blog that the views from the top of the building rivaled those from the Empire State, but without the queues....and we weren't disappointed! We arrived at sunset (the lift up 67 floors took 45 secs!) and the views were absolutely stunning (checkout the pics ...

After a night out on the town on Tuesday, yesterday was a later start but I managed to get myself to the Guggenheim and indulged in the ...

... one on top of the empire state building. Its an amazing feeling being up that high :) For dinner we went to little Italy. A friend told us of this place called "Pugilia", good ...

... Awakening. What an incredible show! We had great seats in the Orchestra and were all completely mesmerized by the show. Warning: this is NOT a show for children - full of language and very graphic sexual content! It did, however, spur some very interesting conversations afterward! Once the show was over, we decided to walk down Broadway and do some shopping at the 3-story Forever 21 store on West 34th Street. Michelle ...

... umbrella. Crazy but fun. Best meal we had in Manhatten. About 1 hour later, it really started hosing down so we had to retreat inside. You can actually see ...

Bubby's Pie Company is a restaurant and pie company with locations in both Manhattan and Brooklyn.  Since May of 2006 we have been wanting to try the one in Brooklyn, but when we tried to go for my birthday it was closed for a private event.  After that we thought about trying again but we always thought of somewhere else to go.  Then when Father's Day rolled around this year we tried to think of somewhere to go.  We thought of a few places before finally deciding on Bubby's ...
