T for Tuesday

 T Stands For is hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard

I was watching something on TV the other night and a reference was made to Junior's cheesecake in New York City and it reminded me that we had been there and it was perfect for T for Tuesday.

Click here for the trip recap.

According to GO Brooklyn, "At the corner of Flatbush and DeKalb avenues in Downtown Brooklyn, there has been a diner run by the Rosen family since 1929. In 1950, the name was changed to Junior's, and it has been serving its famous cheesecake and other goodies ever since."

Rosen worked with master baker Eigel Peterson to create the cheesecake known today as "The World's Most Fabulous Cheesecake", based on a recipe that was in the Rosen family for three generations. In addition to cheesecake, Junior's features deli sandwiches (particularly corned beef and pastrami), ten ounce steakburgers, cheese blintzes, and unique onion rings.

We did have lunch before our dessert!

Mine - chopped liver!

Pastrami and soup

9/11 Lest We Forget

Taken in December 2001 right after 9/11. We spent New Year's there and these are some of the photos we took of memorials around the city.

Ground Zero - the crowds were dense so this was the best shot

This week's theme is Something you don't see every day.

And I can only say thank goodness!

Wednesday's Words

I took this photo last month in NYC. It is outside the Park Central Hotel stating hotel has bedbugs. I was reminded of this photo while reading this article on how to spot a fake online hotel review.
