Breakfast in Bryant Park
This was my parents’ last day in New York. We had to part after breakfast, because they had tickets for the afternoon matches at the US Open. So we grabbed breakfast sandwiches from a street vendor to eat in Bryant Park. Afterwards we visited the New York Public Library, then met up with Christine and had lunch at the first pizzeria in America. Day 4 is also the day we transitioned from staying in Midtown with my parents to Chinatown with Christina!

The choices..yum

RRL in Soho, more exciting to see for me than for Koen and Christine
Time for coffee again, but this time in Greenwich Village
