it's very cold (brrrrrrrrrrrr) tonight, the weather is back to winter temperature. nonetheless it didn't stop us from going out...

staying at 45th street just between 5th and 6th avenue makes time square just a stone throw away from us...

first impression - bustling, neon light flashing, glittering

that is especially the case when standing at time square, life is so vulnerable in the midst of the modernity lights, crowds and traffic...

more lights of time square

we had a long fb discussion on hooters that i visited in aurora, il, and so decided to check out the nyc version. one thing for sure is that the nyc version is not a supersized one but still quite far lacking from the expectation photo that they have advertised...

another side story about the hotel that we checked in to. i am told that i have a 'ph06' and ph means penthouse. my expectation was raised a little and was rather excited and called my niece and said we will be staying in penthouse. later to my realization the 'ph' in this case just means top floor and nothing close to the real penthouse definition....

view from our penthouse room, at least empire state building is our outlook (a consolation of staying in a penthouse room)

for now is an 'early' night...
