{Bergdorf Goodman 5th Ave New York City}

Both of us did shop on January 7, 1989 at Bergdorf Goodman when they had their winter sale.

Having studied fashion, this luxe department store is a dream!

Even if you don't shop, still a joy to browse around.
So I loved to be back on August 28, 2015.

Photo is taken from the bus... hence the reflection.

Using the New York Public Library Digital Collection (see link below post) we can see the Streetview, Then and Now in 1911 and in 2015.
Then and Now: Remnants of the Vanderbilt Mansion in New York City as seen in the  top photo.
Today the original Cornelius Vanderbilt II mansion is the department store Bergdorf Goodman.

What I still do buy from Bergdorf Goodman on line though, is items like lip gloss, nail polish and such.
Since they only have ONE store in New York City, it means you are not paying any tax for outside of state.

Have you ever shopped at Bergdorf Goodman New York City, or browsed around?

Thanks for your visit!

{Gladiolus from our Garden for Memorial Weekend 2016}

A very meaningful weekend we have here in the U.S.A.

Memorial weekend with Memorial Day being Monday, May 30.
It is good for pausing a moment and honoring all those that gave all for the freedom of others!

Just had to take this photo outdoors for lack of light.

May your Memorial Weekend 2016 be a meaningful one!

Thanks for visiting.

{Rockefeller Center New York City}

On August 28 of 2015, when we did tour NYC by bus, of course one of the stops was at the Rockefeller Center.

Atlas is a huge bronze statue in front of Rockefeller Center

It is just across from St. Patrick's Cathedral.

The sculpture depicts the ancient Greek Titan Atlas, holding the heavens.

Rockefeller Center is a HUGE complex, spanning 22 acres or 8 hectare

Using the New York Public Library Digital Collection (see link below post) we can see the Streetview, Then and Now in 1911 and in 2015.

The Rockefeller Center is build in 1939

Beautiful Channel Gardens

I bet, the view from the Rock is breathtaking!

One only needs more time...

Happy sight to see all those flags waving!

Have you been to the Rockefeller Center?
