Wednesday in NYC

We went to the New York Transit Museum in the early afternoon (slept in very late.)  It was right down the street from the hotel.  It is pretty cool, as it is in an old, closed subway stop.  It was cold however.  They have displays about the building of the subway, the Money Train, the buses, bridges and streets of NYC.  They also have about 20 old subway cars, showing the progression of transportation in NYC.  They have a display of all of the old tokens that have been used, and it was fun to see the tokens that we used when we used to go to the city when we were growing up.

Driving the NYC bus was a hit for all!

After the Transit museum (where I picked up a replica of the A train (which I used to take to work) which fits the Thomas the Tank engine track) we went back to White Castle.  This time...no ketchup.

We headed over to the 5th Avenue World of Disney store, which was going out of business (everything 50% off, unless it said NYC..then 75% off) and spent about an hour.  We met my sisters at The Strand when we were done.

We headed off for some Chinese food, and then got some yummy canoli's.   After that we headed back to the hotel.  The ride back took us through the 8th Ave subway station...this was a tourist spot on it's own.

According to google, this station was recently renovated and includes works of art by Tom Otterness called "Life Underground", including a sewer alligator.

Finally back to the hotel where the boys watched the University of Utah football team.
