And the Big Apple was certainly just that, crisp. Crisp as in cold. 19 degrees with a windchill down to 11. And its a little humid. Don't leave your food outside or it may get freezer burn. All in, it was a great trip. Had some time to see some friends and ran around the town a bit. It's good to back and wrapping up Mormon.org.
On a side note, did you know that the New York Macy's Wikipedia is the largest department store in the world? A short bio: Founded in 1858 by a sailor (Rowland Hussey Macy) with a red star tattooed on his hand. It now has 2.2 million sq ft of retail -- covering one city block and rising 11 stories. There are 6 Starbucks in side. It was the first store to offer free home delivery and free toilet paper in the restrooms. The first day of business brought in $11.08 ($279.82 today) and in 2009 Macy's ran $24.89 billion in sales... pretty amazing.
