Statue Liberty

My friend Lloyd said he would never bring me to the Statue Liberty, because only tourists would go that place. But I am a tourist, so I had to find my own way to visit the Statue Liberty.
I was planning to buy the island ticket, but there were too many tourists. I didn't want to stay on the line but instead of bought a water taxi's ticket. The water taxi only took me circle around the island 30 minutes, I couldn’t get on the island. For me, that was enough.
I went there by myself, no one could take picture for me. So I had to ask other tourists to tack the pictures for me. But the boat was shacking; the tourist’s skill was bad. All of my pictures were terrible.
Anyway, I finally saw the Statue Liberty in person.

Cafe Lalo
還記得電影 You've got mail 梅格萊恩與湯姆漢克相約的咖啡廳嗎?沒錯就是這間,Cafe Lalo,聽說這間咖啡廳中午過後,就得要排隊才能進去,所以小凱在錯失 Rockefeller Center 的 Destiny's Child 的 morning show 後,坐1號地鐵來到 Amsteroam St.與 83 St.的 Cafe Lalo。ㄧ到映入眼簾的,便是那招牌格窗,side walk 旁還種上美美的花盆,詩意盎然。大概是早上9點多的關係,咖啡店裡人還不多,只有幾桌,小凱剛剛才在 Starbucks 喝完 latte 跟吃完 Begel ,可是看著隔壁桌的 frozen yogurt ,小凱管不住肚子已經很飽,還是點了一杯可口的 yogurt 來ㄧ飽口舌之慾。

Iced Coffee & Frozen Yogurt
大大的草莓,下面還有多種水果,只是這樣吃下來並不便宜喔 ~
加上小費要 $ 12 塊多,但是絕對吃的很滿足喔~~

ㄧ個人旅遊就得就地取材,這是小凱用咖啡杯幫自己拍的。
店裡採咖啡色系裝潢,當然放的也是爵士樂,小凱的最愛。
牆上掛滿了 Cafe Lalo 的畫,就是畫中那位時舞時靜的 Lady。

誰說紐約人都很冷漠,當小凱在 47 St. 站,拿著大大的地圖,研究該怎麼轉車時,ㄧ位好心的紐約人便回過頭來問我要不要幫忙,小凱當時也不知在想啥,直覺的回答說 no, thank you ~~ 他還問ㄧ次 Are you sure? 看起來不像壞人,不過小凱還是靠自己的力量找到這間咖啡廳,真是愉快。

Blue Fin
為了幫小凱達成願望,Lloyd在Blue Fin訂了位,哇真開心 ~ ~ 雖然這也是ㄧ家給觀光客去吃的高級餐廳,不過他以海鮮料理聞名,也是有排名的餐廳喔。小凱今晚吃的前菜是 Crab Cake 用 crab 做成的煎餅,香香酥酥的好好吃喔!主餐是 Chilean Sea Bass (Roast Red Paper/Lemon Potato/Kalamata Olive)。魚肉鮮美,外皮有先煎過,香香酥酥的,肉質好嫩,口味也相當清淡,吃進去卻又口齒留香,再形容口水都要留下來啦!甜點是 Brulee ㄧ份共有三種口味,Lemon,Vietnamese Coffee,Almond,我最愛 Almond口味的,好好ㄔㄛ ~~
所以小凱回來變胖不是沒原因啦 ~~ 哈哈哈 !誰拒絕的了這樣的美食呢?你說是不是?
