New York City

Our last day in New York was rather uneventful. We slept in (to about 8?). We got ready for the day, packed our luggage, checked out of the hotel and stored our luggage with the bell staff for the remainder of the day. At this point it was roughly 11 am. We wanted around looking for a place to eat, before settling on Fresh and Co (the place we went on the 1st day). Sheriyn got some Oatmeal, and I got a "BLT" (although it came with Turkey Bacon, Eggs, Avocato and Rst Tomato spread. Not sure what the L was). We took our food and headed on the 1 train to Central Park. The plan was to go to the Museum of Natural History, Frick Collection, or the Met. Upon arriving we ate our food on a bench and before heading off, realized it was now 11:30, and we wouldn't have had much time to do much of anything before having to retrieve our luggage and make our way to Penn Station.

We ended up deciding to Dylans Candy Shop on the other side of the park. We spent the next hour just wandering around the park, and admiring the irony of having an open countryside “hidden” within the bustling metropolis. After the walk, and subsequent exit from the park, we made our way over to Dylans on 3rd and 60th? The store was a 3 story megamart of everything candy. We sent some time here, and got some treats for the kids. We decided it was time to make our way back to the Hotel. We shot down Lexington and realizing we were hungry found this Grilled Cheese place hidden below the street level, called Melt Me? Or whatever the hell it was called. We grabbed a couple of grilled cheeses to split. One came with Bacon, the other had Mushroom, and I forget the rest of the composition of both. Both were pretty good, but I didn’t think they were anything special. This marked the last thing we did as we jumped on the train and headed back to the hotel, picked up our luggage and walked over to Penn Station to grab the train back to Boston.Leggi altro
