    Beautiful and cold day spent at Central Park. Jono volunteered tour guide duties today, he planned a really good walking route around the park, picking out lots of places to visit.
    We started the day catching the subway to the Plaza Hotel, made famous by the Home Alone 2 film, then walked around Central Park, it was busy, yet still quite peaceful. It is so much bigger than we expected!! Such a beautiful place ❤️❤️❤️Leggi altro

    Pit stop at the Boathouse - the food menu was more for large meals, so we decided on a liquid lunch!! Bar men were not that friendly, they got Jo’s drink wrong and 1/2 filled Cindy’s glass with ice then filled it with half a can of coke and threw the rest away 😳
    We still enjoyed ourselves and the view!
    Then we had a hot nut and hot dog stand stop, both of which were so good!! 🤤
    Saw lots of squirrels too!!
    We stopped at Elf bridge, famous for the snowball scene in the film Elf.
    We had a bit of fun by the YMCA, then on to the John Lennon memorial, Strawberry Fields, near to where he was assassinated on 8th December 1980 near the Dakota building, which is opposite the memorial. Someone was playing a guitar & singing Imagine, a lovely moment ❤️    Leggi altro

    Central Park - part 3

    6 dicembre 2025, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

    We ended our Central Park trip at Belvedere Castle, one of the most iconic features in Central Park, the miniature castle is located on top of a the huge rock known as Vista Rock, the second highest natural point in Central Park. Stunning views & a great final stop.
    We then ventured on our first subway trip, when we eventually found the subway - which was a feat in itself! It was only eventful because of the force when the train first moves - Jo got flung halfway across the carriage & was saved by Graham, fortunately all was well and it gave us something else to laugh about!! Lesson in making sure you hold on tight before it moves!
    Next stop the much anticipated Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller Centre 🙌    Leggi altro

    Comedy or farce?!!!
    Woah the crowds trying to get to the Rockefeller Centre were crazy! They are something else! We had booked via Viator the VIP experience and finding the VIP entrance in the crowds was almost impossible 😳😳 we finally made it, only to find that the Viator tickets hadn’t been booked through properly, so our 4.30pm booked slot wasn’t available 🤬🤬 after some arguments with the staff we were put onto the 6.30pm slot and allowed to wait it out in the VIP lounge with drinks. We heard the tour overview and safety briefings at least 5 times before hysteria set in!!! A big thank you to Joseph for looking after us and entertaining us with his increasingly higher pitched voice every time a Viator ticket holder came in!!!Leggi altro

    After the nightmare start, our tour leader Cameron did a sterling job of explaining everything about Rockefeller and expediting us through the whole experience. We had no idea that so many buildings make up the Rockefeller Centre! He also advised us that 125 million people visit in December each year, which explained the crowds of people everywhere around & inside the centre 🤯🤯 Our tickets enabled us to skip all the queues and have a brilliant experience 😍
    We did the new Skylift a groundbreaking, heart-pounding 360 degree experience that takes you higher than ever before. Then we skipped the queues for the Beam experience.
    Replicating the iconic 1932 photo depicting 11 ironworkers lunching precariously on a steel beam, 69 stories high, it was taken right here during the construction of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Following in their fearless footsteps we buckled up for an exhilarating ascent above the deck. They were astonishing views of NYC’s incredible night time skyline.
    A brilliant end to a very long and mixed day!!! 🤩    Leggi altro

    Grand Central Terminal

    7 dicembre 2025, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

    We visited Grand Central Terminal, what a beautiful place! The iconic zodiac ceiling features 12 gold-leaf constellations and 2500 stars, 59 of which are LED-illuminated. Very busy terminal.
    There is a gorgeous golden clock in the centre, above the Info Booth, the clock, like all those in the terminal, is accurate to within 1 second every 20 billion years, calibrated to the atomic clock in the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, DC and is valued at $20 million or more.
    The Whispering Gallery amongst the arches, creates an acoustical phenomenon. We split into 2 groups & Jo & Cindy leant their heads into opposite corners of the gallery, and we could hear them clearly from across the room — even with all Grand Central Terminal’s hustle and bustle - amazing!! 🤩
    We also managed to see the Holiday Train Show, a tradition that captures the magic of miniature trains and New York City during the holidays, brilliant set up!    Leggi altro

    Dinner cruise along the Hudson River

    7 dicembre 2025, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    We had booked a dinner cruise along the Hudson River to celebrate Cindy, Jon & Graham’s 60th birthdays & Cindy & Graham’s 40th anniversary, a 5 course dinner with a live band sounded great fun!
    After a slightly stressful trip to Pier 36, (it was not the simplest location to find) and a short wait in the very cold evening air, we boarded our boat, Louisa of the seas.
    It was a great evening, the food was not the best, but the band were brilliant, the atmosphere was buzzing, the staff attentive and the scenery was stunning 🤩 The band came around to our table to serenade our birthday gang to a rendition of happy birthday too 🎉🎂
    New York skyline at night at its best with a ride right alongside the Statue of Liberty - perfect 👌🏻
    We decided to Uber it back to the hotel, lots of fun & games with Cindy hunched up in the back one minute, then flung back like on a sun bed the next!! We got the giggles 🤭 and laughed most of the way back!
    A great evening had by all!!!    Leggi altro

    Oculus at the World Trade Centre

    8 dicembre 2025, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ -2 °C

    Oculus is a stunning monument to the 911 victims, with white steel ribs, designed to resemble a dove in flight, symbolizing peace and resilience. It is a transportation hub connecting 12 subway lines, with over 100 shops and additional dining places.
    The central skylight aligns with the sun on September 11th, creating a "Wedge of Light" that illuminates the main hall. It is a stunning building in the shadows of the World Trade Centre, next to the 911 memorial & museum.
    We had a wander around the 2 large reflecting pools which mark precisely the locations of the north & south towers, they are 30 feet deep with waterfalls. It was a freezing cold day!
    We also visited St Paul’s church nicknamed the “Little Chapel That Stood": Located just yards from the WTC, it was protected by a large sycamore tree that took the brunt of falling debris, leaving the chapel intact. It also has the Bell of Hope: Trinity Church rings this bell to honor victims of tragedy and promote peace. Very thought provoking.

    We joined a Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO walking tour this afternoon, the weather was freezing, with wind chill -10 degrees!! 🥶
    Our guide Cherie from Brooklyn, was extremely informative and willing to take a lot of photos of us!!!
    Brooklyn Bridge is an iconic hybrid suspension/cable-stayed bridge connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn over the East River, famous for its stone towers, steel cables, and Gothic arches. Opened in 1883, it was the world's longest suspension bridge at the time and the first to use steel wire, featuring a pedestrian promenade, bike path, and vehicle lanes.
    We had amazing views whilst crossing, fortunately our thermals kept us warm apart from our eyes!! 😆    Leggi altro

    DUMBO

    8 dicembre 2025, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ -2 °C

    After a freezing cold walk across Brooklyn Bridge we walked around DUMBO - An acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
    Famous for the view of the Manhattan Bridge perfectly framing the Empire State Building from Washington Street. There are cobblestone streets, converted brick warehouses, and modern luxury buildings.
    We went to Jacques Torres chocolatier to warm up with a delicious hot chocolate, then we wandered across to Empire Stores and were taken to a stunning rooftop terrace with views across both Brooklyn & Manhattan bridges.
    We also went up close to Jane’s carousel, a beautifully restored, antique carousel housed in a glass pavilion with views of the Manhattan skyline. Originally built in 1922 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, it was purchased by Jane and David Walentas, who painstakingly restored it before it opened to the public in 2011.
    We also had a peek at the ice rink.
    We ended the day back at our hotel for food and drinks.
    All in all a brilliant day - if a bit chilly!!!    Leggi altro

    Little Island & Chelsea Market

    9 dicembre 2025, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ -3 °C

    We caught the subway to Little Island, opened in spring 2021 at Pier 55, it is a one-of-a-kind public park seemingly "floating" on the Hudson River like a leaf. It was a cold & sunny morning, yet surprisingly warm sat in a sunny spot on the island! Beautiful scenery and a lovely quiet oasis in the city.
    After, we wandered to Chelsea Market, which was constructed in the 1890s and was originally the site of the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented and produced. The complex was redeveloped in the 1990s and is now a retail area at ground level with office space above. Lots of little artisan stalls and shops and eateries, great place for a pit stop!

    The Vessel is a 16-story landmark and climbable sculpture located at the heart of the Hudson Yards Public Square, it stands 150 feet tall, with a base diameter of 50 feet that expands to 150 feet at its peak. Constructed from a steel frame clad in polished, copper-colored stainless steel, which reflects the surrounding urban environment. The skeleton of the structure was manufactured in Venice, Italy, and shipped to the U.S. in several batches before being assembled on-site like a giant puzzle.

    We headed back to the Oculus for our tour of the 911 memorial pools and museum. Just a few pictures taken, hard to put into words the effect it has on you.
    Located at the World Trade Center 9/11, the Memorial Museum honors the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993, recognizes the courage of those who survived, and salutes those who risked their lives to help others. It tells the story of 9/11 through media, narratives, and a collection of monumental and authentic artifacts, lots of personal stories of loss, recovery, and hope.
    Very thought provoking & interesting, the museum actually runs underneath the memorial pools, an incredible feat.    Leggi altro

The theatre was tiny, held less than 500 people and we were sat on the front row!!! Jo accidentally got spat on by one of the actors they were so close 😆😆
