More New York City

The last few days have been a blast in NYC. It’s one of our favorite city’s to hang out in. We hope to spend a lot more time in New York in the future.
We’ve ate some great food and had some great nights out. Thanks to our great friend Bobby with Leather Craftsmen.He really showed us an amazing couple of nights. If you are a photographer and haven’t looked into Leather Craftsmen as your album supplier I would put that at the top of your to do list. You will not be disappointed.
Also Ira from Leather Craftsmen suggested an over the top great Italian Place. It was a total hole in the wall. Hole in the walls are always my favorite.

Here we are arriving at Franks for our amazing meal. Thanks Ira.

I had to try the Rigatoni and sausage meatballs. Bobby said I had to try it.

That night we met up with Bobby and Andy Marcus and his family for dinner.Andy Marcus is a household name for photography in New York city.His father started the studio over 40 years ago. It may have even been longer. It was great getting the chance to hang out with some local New Yorkers. Everybody was so great. We had a blast.
I wish I had a better group shot. This is the best the waitree could do.

Here is a good shot of myself, Stephanie, Amanda and Bobby.

We had a surprise vistor later that night. Ira happen to be in New York also.

The next day we had a great time hanging out with Derek with Derek Photographers.
Derek is also another household name in The New York area. Derek has been in business for 39 years. It was so great getting to meet photographers that have been running a business for such a long time.
Derek has a great studio located in Westchester County. He also has a studio located in the city. We had a chance to visit the Westchester studio. It was located in this great old building.

Today we started out at Katz’s. A landmark deli in New York. Bobby also turned me on to this place. It is also know as the deli where the movie When Harry Met Sally shot the famous scene where sally got very worked up. They even have a sign over the seat she sat in.
If you love a good pastrami. This is a must place to stop. The pastrami was amazing.

We are heading home tomorrow. So we have to say goodbye to New York.
