Lunch and Christmas Shopping in New York City

January 16, 2019






Hello blog friends.  I went to lunch and did Christmas shopping in lower Manhattan during the second week of December.

My husband took the day off from work but had a business lunch meeting to attend and I came along too.  We decide to do the holiday shopping after our lunch, as we were in no hurry.

I took a few photos of the buildings located in the lower part of Manhattan along the way to the restaurant.

Below you can see part of the building that looks like a fin of a fish, it's called the Oculus Building.

Look more views of the Oculus Building!

This was our first time we ate lunch at this restaurant and we went to the lobby of the building.  I asked my husband to take a photo of me in front of this gorgeous Christmas tree.  Look how small I look next to the huge tree.  LOL!

We did not realize it but we were waiting at the wrong area and we had to go back outside to the other side of the building to get to the restaurant.




We had lunch at the restaurant called Manhatta.  It's located at 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY on the 60th floor.  We took an elevator up to the 60th floor and we were amazed at the gorgeous views of the city.

For our lunch we each had appetizers but I forgot to take photos of them.  I had scallops for my main dish that tasted delicious.



My husband had trout with risotto and other vegetables.




A huge cheeseburger with onion rings and pickles for the other guest.




After our lunch we all had coffee.  I had a latte with a pretty heart design made out of the foam.





After our lunch, while still inside the restaurant, it was photo time.  We had an awesome view of the city.

This is a photo of my husband and I.  We are both camera shy.  :)




Look at these gorgeous shots I took while we looked out the window.  We were lucky to have a clear day.







After our amazing lunch, we went to do Christmas shopping in the H&M store and in the Oculus Building.  If you like shopping, then you will like the stores inside the Oculus Building.


If you ever come to visit New York City, you don't want to miss a visit to lower Manhattan.  I would suggest after sightseeing perhaps have lunch or dinner at Manhatta.
