10 Memories, 100 Discoveries: Memory 3 – NYC Magic
Huxley said, “Memories are a man’s private literature.” Memories are private and you never know which ones will be picked up, stored away and treasured. In 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, ten of the discoveries are memories- fun, sad, happy, I’m not sure what types there will be, but I do know that they will all be treasured. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 memories here and the entire project here. Enjoy the memories, I am!
I’ve been lucky enough this year to travel to New York City more times than ever before. In fact, I’ve even used four NYC experiences for this project here, here, here and here (each in a different group of course). The city is a never ending maze of wonder. I have yet to complete my list of “things to do” in a single trip (or even five). And, each time I discover a new piece of NYC.
This time was no different. Even though I’ve been to Times Square and Central Park a dozen times, on this trip, I discovered two wonders that I didn’t even realize were there. The first was an amazing dinner at The Central Park Boathouse overlooking The Lake. Great company, great food and a great view.
The second discovery was even more magical. In the middle of Times Square inside the Toys R’ Us is a 3-story high children’s ferris wheel! This isn’t just any ferris wheel. For this one, each cart is themed to a different toy. One was Toy Story, another Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. Still another Scooby Doo.
The ferris wheel reminded me that even in the places you’ve been and looked a thousand times, there’s still magic and new things to be discovered.
