This morning we caught the subway to Times Square, to meet up with Rob and Vicky, who had flown in to JFK the previous night.
It was great seeing them both again. We jumped back on the subway to grab some lunch in Greenwich Village, where we sat in a classic New York pizza place, chomping away at this fine delicacy!
After a good old chin wag over lunch we started walking south down Broadway to take in the Lower Manhattan sights, which included Soho, City Hall, The World Trade Centre and Wall Street.
We reached the Staten Island Ferry Terminal and jumped on the boat, for a scenic ride across to Staten Island.
As we headed out of the Ferry Terminal we got some great views looking back at the New York skyline, and across to the Statue of Liberty.
The return journey was lovely, and as we arrived back in the terminal we all made our way back to our accommodation to change ready for our night out.
We were meeting Matt at the Dinosaur BBQ in Harlem, on arrival we found that the atmosphere was buzzing, and the place was packed. We had fun catching up whilst sipping some New York ales and waiting for a table.
When we were sat for dinner the choice on the menu was amazing, and we all struggled to choose.
We ended up ordering a mixed platter for all of us to share, which was delicious. When we had finished we moved back to the bar and the boys started perusing the Karaoke menu, unbeknown to them Claire had put them down for a song.
So, first up was Rob, Ben and Matt singing ‘Barbie Girl’…and then Nicola singing ‘Nobody Does It Better’. Ben and Matt were then back up singing ‘Green Green Grass of Home’.
As all of these requests were Claire’s doing we thought it was about time she had a go, so up she went with Nicola singing ‘Eternal Flame’ and then ‘Your the One That I Want’!
It was a great night, and lots of fun keeping the locals entertained!
