Two parts for today, as it was full-on sightseeing on our last day in New York.
Here’s the clue to much of the morning. One slight advantage of jet lag is that we’re still waking up a bit early. It meant that we got to the Empire State Building before 9.00 and so no crowds or queues.
Many photos were taken, so only a small selection here:
Others say there are better viewing places, but I like the ESBNYC because I’ve done it before, you get a great view of uptown and downtown, but most of all because you get a great view of the Chrysler Building.
South to Wall Street:
North to Central Park:
East and West:
And us:
One of us went shopping (Banana Republic if you must know) so I tried a few street shots:
Lunch at Blooms on Lexington Avenue:
And a quick look into the Chrysler Foyer which is fantastic:
Needed a rest after all that, but before we headed back (only about 15 minutes on the subway) we had a quick peek into the Reading Room in the Public Library.
