Lauren and I headed into New York City for a long weekend. It was Lauren's first extended stay in the city. We drove to Dover NJ and took the train to Penn Station. My sister, Alyson, met us at the train station. 
After leaving our bags and her case of wine at 4J, we went out for yummy Italian food.

After dinner we went for an after dinner drink in the neighborhood (West Village).
An assortment of beverages were had by all! We headed home to Alyson's apartment to get some sleep. We had big plans for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island the next day.
Alyson went to work Thursday morning while Lauren and I headed downtown on our own.
That's us on the ferry ride over. Statue of Liberty was our first stop.
Lauren's impressive camera work. Even though it was very overcast and rainy...it's one of my favorite pictures.

Another picture from Lauren's self-portrait handy-work. I will admit it took about 20 tries to get this right. A man even came up to us and offered to take our picture for us, but we were determined to get it ourselves.
We hopped back on the ferry and made our way over to Ellis Island.
We enjoyed another self-guided tour.
Afterward I found one of my ancestors on a memory wall outside. Those von Rosenberg Family Reunions finally paid off.
We headed back into the city for POP burgers. It just so happened that Reebok was setting up for an anniversary party where we were eating. They had Reebok pumps hanging from the ceiling and a larger than life poster.
After Alyson got off work, we had friends over to 4J for drinks before going out for tapas and sangria.
After dinner drinks.

The evening concluded at Automatic Slims. It's a bar down on the corner from Alyson's apartment. We danced to some awesome music and had a great time! That's Alyson behind the bar!
