NYC on Veteran's Day

On Veteran's Day, I visited NYC with two classmates (gotta love being a Fed to get this holiday off). My one friend had never been.
We stumbled upon the Veteran's Day parade on 5th Ave. Here it goes past St. Patrick's:
We walked through the Garment District:
And of course Times Square:
Then it was off to Rockefeller Center:
The ice rink was open already, even though it wasn't really that cold:
We toured NBC studios. Saw the studios for Nightly News, MSNBC (while on air), Football Night in America, and...oooh, the 'hallway' where they film a lot of behind the scenes Saturday Night Live skits. Although we didn't tour it, only peeked in the windows, the Today Show studio is shown here:
We walked in Central Park for a little:
Odd artwork near The Plaza hotel (hotel in background):We also went to the UN, although we missed the last tour. Artwork out front:
Lord & Taylor's had their holiday windows up already:
Red, white, and blue for Veteran's Day:
Total time in NYC - 7 hours. I think we did pretty good.
