After a few hours in Central Park, we hailed a cab, squeezed into the back seat as no one wanted to sit next to the stinky cab driver, and headed towards Grand Central Terminal.  We played tourist a bit and took pictures of the exterior architecture and made our way into the terminal.  We took pictures of the the four-faced clock above the information booth, took in the astronomical details in the ceiling, then made our way to the Dining Concourse for an afternoon snack.  After doing a quick tour of the numerous snack possibilities that range from cakes, pies and cookies to more savory food like Jamaican Patties or sushi (there are also a handful of fine dining restaurants, the most famous being the Oyster Bar and Grill), we decided to get some frozen novelties from Ciao Bella.

Gelato and Sorbet selections

After 10 minutes of sampling the different gelato flavors available, I opted for a refreshing strawberry sorbet, topped over an equally refreshing lemon sorbet.  Weak, I know, but trust me…. there is a reason for my madness and why I opted for sorbet instead of gelato.  (see post above)

Happy Spooning and Forking!
