So it's our family tradition (like half of NYC) to visit the famed Rockefeller tree during the holidays. We actually like to go after Christmas hoping it will be less crowded but it's always insanely crowded. We just go take pictures really quickly and need to leave because of the madness. I don't know why we torture ourselves but I guess that's why it's a tradition. Although, it's nice to look back at how much the kids have grown since the very first time we brought Tyler.
This year these wooden soldiers were a new addition around the area. Tyler was so amazed at the sheer size of the wooden soldier. It's so tall the hat had to be cut off from the picture. I love this pic of me and Tyler.
OK, so this is the real reason why we torture ourselves every year to see the tree. Afterwards, we go to an authentic Japanese ramen hole in the wall restaurant called Sapparo within a 5 minute walk from the tree. The ramen is so yummy and warms you up after walking outside in the cold. I highly recommend this place. According to Eugene they have the best chicken teriyaki. It's very moist and flavorful. He always orders chicken teriyaki everywhere we go so I guess he knows what he's talking about. For those that are interested it's located on W49th St b/w Ave. of the Americas and 7th Ave.

ohhh i've eaten there! it's good AND there's not a long line like at Ippudo (cooper union area).
ReplyDeleteseriously you and eugene do so much w/ the kids! do you drive in or take the train?
Definitely drive in. Eugene doesn't like to take public transportation. He's a Queens boy all the way.
