This is the first time...

I ever ate New York Pizza,

or saw the skyline at night,
or had a cannoli,

or ate a hot dog from a street vendor in NYC,
or rode a subway train.
This is the first time I saw this store,
or this aircraft carrier,
or these planes,
or that plane.
This is the first time I've even seen this church (is it really a church?),
or Times Square.
Not the first time I've seen this...though never in this place and never quite so deep.
I felt like I was in ZooTV.

This was a first time we've kissed by a huge kiss. (We were forced to pose for this picture btw).
This is the first time I've been to a classy jazz club.
or seen Frank Wess.
I've never seen this guy before. First time. He was ticked when I explained I only had 3 ones on me instead of a five.
This was absolutely the first time....
we've ever seen this lady
up close.


I saw ground zero, now a construction site, for the first time...
and the Empire State Building...and lots of other buildings.
This was the first time David and I went to a motorcycle show. (Scooter people and motorcycle people really don't mix so we didn't stay long.)
Dave remembered this place from Reading Rainbow so we had to get some more hot dogs.

I thought they were better than the hot dogs we had the first night.This is the first time I've ever walked in Central Park.
Him too.

I wondered what it would be like in the spring...
And I wondered what it would be like to play this piano.

And we went to this museum....

and saw a lot of things for the first time...but security wouldn't let me take any other pictures.



I hope there is a second time for me in NYC....maybe in a different season though.
