We can see the Empire State Building from our apartment, so our first avventura in New York was to get to the top.  Enza was a little worried we actually had to CLIMB, but I assured her there was an ascensore (elevator). 

We rode up, up, up to the 86^th floor. And what a view!

It was cold (-2 degree Celsius – around 30 degrees F), so we didn’t linger, but had fun spotting sights.

After that, we decided to introduce Enza to her first Starbucks.  She loved it that they yelled her name when her espresso was ready.  And declared American caffe – “va bene” (all right).
