Is it New York City or Tokyo?

First a quiz--What kind of bagel is this? Answer below! Welcome to New York--No-Tokyo Harbor! This could so easily be a scene out of New York. This is a replica of the Statue of Liberty overlooking the harbor.
Little Miss 'Tude with the statue. She did not want to stand.
Wow--I feel like I am home.
Amazing view from dinner at the Red Lobster. Much better than in the USA.
Now she is having fun playing Legos at Mega Toys R Us.
The Tokyo Harbor, again our view from our table at dinner.
Yes, Tokyo Beach.
A view from the pier.
Modern buildings, malls, and a ferris wheel line the beach.
That building with the big silver sphere is the Fuji Film building. It is a TV studio and many people were coming there last night. I don't know what was going on, but it looked like a filming with lots of limos and taxis and security.
Another great view.
Beach and towers.
Mommy and her children strolling on the beach.
Fugi Film Building and beach and boardwalk.
Gorgeous Area
Beach by the Harbor
Spectacular View
How cute! She could not wait to take off her shoes and run in the sand.
Baby and Beach--my two favorites.
We went to the Odaiba Area yesterday and it was spectacular. We got to take the New Transit which is like a monorail that is above the street and goes over the Rainbow Bridge over the Tokyo Bay. There is a beach, replica of the Statue of Liberty and two modern malls. There is also a huge ferris wheel, entertainment center, and Fugi Television Studio. We did not even have time to explore the entire area. We ended up spending a lot of time in mega Toys R Us. Savannah had a lot fun with trains, Legos, and computers. We finally got a new stroller. The airline finally did in our old one after several flights, but now it doesn't turn, doesn't close, and the canopy is broken. We did not get the one over 45,000 yen. We found a light weight one for a reasonable. The service was remarkable. At customer pick up they unpacked it, put it together, and we could use it right away.
We ate dinner at Red Lobster, which was much better and different than in the United States. We also got a spectacular view of the bay and statue.
I also got Savannah some CUTE outfits. Things were a bit more reasonable in the malls in Odaiba.
Today we are going to the zoo and park. It is a beautiful day.
And the answer to the question... I was sure the bagels were pumpernickle raisin, but they were chocolate with chocolate chips.
