New York City - The Day After Christmas 2011 {Road Trip}

My Daughter and her Fiance were home (from Los Angeles) for Christmas a few months ago. And for a special trip we went down from Boston to NYC for the day - the day after Christmas.
 
New York City (with all the lights, and decorations and incredible crowds) is such a special and crazy place at Christmas time. 
We got down to the city early in the day with the hope of lunch in Times Square, then pastries at Macy's, coffee at Starbucks, go to the camera stores, maybe see some TV or movie stars just hanging out and then the lights as the city came a live after dark.  It is a "food focus" I know ... HA!
 
The crowds were beyond belief. No, seriously,  we went into one door of Macy's and were literally pushed through the store.  Gotta love it! So no pastries - crap! 
 
I do admit that if you can handle it, it must be just incredible to live in downtown New York City.  
 
Maybe one day.  Hey, you never know.
 
 We did make a number of stops to look at shoes. After all, my Daughter was with us.
