We emerged from the depths of Penn Station into the hustle and bustle of Seventh Avenue. I contacted our daughter by cell phone and discovered she had not left her apartment yet--29 blocks south of where we were. However, she said she would be there in a half an hour.
We went across the street to a Roy Rogers restaurant for lunch. Afterwards, we stood on the corner of 33rd Street and 7th Avenue looking for our daughter. I called her on the cell phone and she said she was at the same intersection. However, she was on the opposite corner and it took a few minutes before I finally spotted her face in that sea of people.
After the graduation, we had to use the cell phones again to locate each other. (Cell phones are a wonderful invention!) Then we took some photos. Here's one of us.
After the pictures, we ate supper at Sbarro's restaurant--also across the street from Madison Square Garden. Daughter #2 showed us where to catch our train home and we left all the hustle and bustle behind us. New York is a rather exciting place, but I like peace and quiet, too.

Congratulations to your daughter!! A Masters. Wow, lots of work and dedication.
I've never been to New York, but it's on my "to do" list before I die..lol....someday.
Congratulations! You must be so proud. I wonder what it feels like to see your very own child complete such a remarkable achievement. I hope to be there one day too. :)
You were up in my neck of the woods... and YES, the weather feels more like late winter than almost-summer in the Great Northeast. But I'm not complaining.
Congratulations to you and your daughter. It is so exciting to hear good reports! I have never been to New York, but I would love to go one day, sounds like an exciting trip!!
