Intrepid Sea, Air, & Space Museum and more Times Square

Took the C train a downtown a few stops for breakfast at Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Co on 8th Ave between 24th & 25th. Bagels were awesome and just as good as Best Bagel from yesterday. Their jalapeƱo and Asiago cream cheese has fresh jalapeƱos rather than the usual pickled....a little spicier. Immediately took the C train uptown back to 42nd and walked the 6 or so blocks to the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum which is (mostly) on the decommissioned USS Intrepid aircraft carrier. They've got a submarine (Growler) and a bunch of planes including an A-12 Blackbird, F-14, F-16A, an old Blue Angel, a Concorde, the Space Shuttle Enterprise (prototype Shuttle) and a bunch more. Will made a few friends, Kyle and Dillan (brothers). Best part was that our OMSI membership covered admission to everything except the shuttle. We closed down the museum at 5pm and walked back to 42nd to train down to Joe's Pizza near the corner of Carmine St and Ave of the Americas. Quick rest in the hotel before walking around Times Square to shop, see the lights and people watch.
