So much to do we did it twice – as the song doesn’t go. Surprise surprise we were awake and out early, then tiring by mid-afternoon so had a siesta, and up and out again for a second time later on.
Midtown was pretty quiet first thing on a Sunday morning, including Rockefeller Center (sic)
Fifth Avenue (from the middle of the road)
My favourite of all, the Chrysler Building (best seen from the top of the Empire State in my opinion)
And Grand Central Station
That was a mighty quick wizz around midtown; part 2 was downtown.
Staten Island Ferry past Statue of Liberty:
With a great view of Manhattan looking back:
Then stopped off in Greenwich Village on the way home and found the Empire State Building:
And the Saigon Shack by chance for dinner which seemed mainly frequented by young Asians – maybe from nearby NY University:
And us!
Best of all? It’s exactly how I remember enjoying it before – boots on, head tilted upwards and sore feet at the end of the day.
