Today the Ladies hit the shops, with Nicola being a personal shopper to Vicky, who had cash to spend! Ben had a ‘boys’ day with Rob, visiting the Fireman’s Museum and then the 2nd oldest pub in New York.
We met back up in Chinatown for a late lunch, and then caught the subway back to our accommodation to get changed for tonight.
Once we had our glad rags on we met up with Rob and Vicky at the bottom of the Rockefeller Centre, riding the elevator to the viewing platform.
As we got up the ‘Top of the Rock’ for sunset we had some great views to ‘wow’ at! Firstly looking Uptown to Central Park.
And, then looking Downtown towards the Empire State Building, the Financial District and in the very distance Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
The Empire State Building was particularly fetching with it’s green glow.
When we made our way back down to ground level we met Claire and caught the subway to the Lower East Side, Manhattan’s ‘trendy’ neighbourhood. We then tried to adjust to New York’s crazy ‘I.D’ policy, and had a couple of drinks in a bar, before going for dinner at a Thai across the road.
And, try as we might the perfect group shot never did quite happen!
Next stop was a bar down the street, where we partook in another couple of cheeky drinks before catching a cab home.
