The My Day In Pictures articles are to keep friends and family updated on what is going on with my life. It was instituted at the request and for the benefit of one of my favorite people in the world, one of my aunts who is a retired telephone operator and lives a few hours away from me.
After leaving the Brooks Brothers flagship store and returning to the hotel, we headed to the NBC studio tour in Rockefeller Center and saw the sets for Saturday Night Live and other shows.

We made it to the flagship Brooks Brothers store on Madison Avenue in New York City this afternoon. I forgot to take pictures throughout the excursion so there are no grand images of the expansive first floor where legend has it that J.P. Morgan and other tycoons purchased their clothes. Sorry.

We headed to Carmine’s Italian restaurant in New York City’s theater district after seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway.

We just left St. Patrick’s Cathedral and are going to work our way down to Broadway to see Mary Poppins tonight, after which we have reservations at Carmine’s, an Italian restaurant that serves family-style dishes.
