Yesterday we arrived in Queens around noon. Chilled for a few hours and then had birthday party number one for Peter at Nicks pizza. Had some great New York style pizza and an awesome chocolate mousse birthday cake.
Today we woke up and had a nice leisurely breakfast at a local diner. Chilled for a few hours, then headed into Manhattan. First stop, Whole Foods to pick up lunch provisions. Then had a nice picnic lunch outside the cloisters. Then inside for a nice tour. Very Harry Potterish so a big hit with the 6 year old crowd. Next over to Central Park zoo. Actually, got to see the snow leopard, which was very cool. Last, we headed over to Ninja Sushi for Peter's birthday party number two. The food was actually pretty good but not cheap. The highlight of the evening for me was getting a field commission as a Ninja from my son as I blocked one of the attacking Ninjas on our way in. Busy, but very fun day.
