      Day 6

      MANHATTAN

      March 26, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 3 °C

      So this morning we got ourselves organized and the bags fit into the car!! Craig drove brilliantly again and the trip down seemed easier than the arrival drive. Once we got to Manhattan it was very busy but we did manage to get petrol, drop everyone off at the hotel and then drop off the car. The walk back was exciting and our Cambria Suites hotel is very central and all around us are pretty flower shops. It has turned out to be a lovely, sunny day but also very cool in the shade. We met for coffee/lunch and the Market Crate Café and then set off to find the New York pass place. Turns out the VR place is no longer valid so we walked on up to Times Square which was very exciting. We eventually found the spot near to the M&M Centre. Also purchased some caps – I had to get a child size and a cute one for William ☺ Macy’s was gorgeous with the flower display/show on currently.
      After a rest at home, which was very much needed, we walked out tonight and once again had a look at the Flat Iron building – very nice! We had a nice meal at the Belgian Beer Bar but my lemon chicken had no lemon in it!! Fun times with the family! We went up to Times square again – very bright to see lights at night time!

      Day 17

      Eishockey und NYC bei Nacht

      September 19, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Wie erwähnt gibt es hier noch in Kurzform den weiteren Verlauf unseres vorletzten Urlaubstages vor der Heimreise. Domi wollte es sich nicht nehmen lassen, auch ein Eishockeyspiel aus der NHL live zu verfolgen.

      Das hätte auch fast geklappt, aber leider gab es nur ein Vorbereitungsspiel während unseres Aufenthaltes in NYC. Hier trafen jedoch zwei NHL Teams aufeinander: Die Philadelphia Flyers zu Gast im Madison Square Garden der New York Rangers! Das Spiel war sehr kurzweilig mit 10 Toren (Endstand 4:6), leider sind die Rangers jedoch zu spät aufgewacht und daher immer einem Rückstand hinterher gelaufen Bzw. geskatet. Nichts desto trotz ein tolles Erlebnis in einer super interessanten Atmosphäre.

      Da wir zum Spiel sowieso schon fast im Zentrum Manhattans angelangt waren ging es zu Fuß weiter in Richtung Times Square. Auch hier gab es viele interessante Einblicke. Wir sind uns jedoch einig, dass es hier außer sehr vielen und beeindruckenden Bildschirmen eigtl nicht viel gibt, was wir bisher verpasst hätten.

      Nach über 20.000 Schritten sind wir nun müde ins Bett gefallen uns erholen uns für unseren morgigen finalen Tag.      Read more

      Day 103

      NEW YORK CITY, USA

      July 11, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      USA!!! ❤️ Taking a bite of the Big Apple. Thanks to the London time difference we have been up at 4am- and it's kind of nice to be out and about before The City That Never Sleeps wakes up. Staying in Manhattan. Doing the usual tourist stuff: Staten Island Ferry to view the Statue of Liberty, saw the 9/11 Memorial (actually quite sobering), walked through Times Square, played in Central Park (aptly dubbed the NY Tree Museum by Buz), took a cab, took the subway, and getting in a good amount of steps on the Fitbit. Still so much to tick off the list! Leonard Cohen songs running through my head, and Buz has been playing Sinatra. Oh, and how could I forget: American shopping! 😁. After wearing the same clothes for 4 months it is a real treat to not only get new clothes, but to find pants that fit a vertically challenged person with an American butt! Even Buz, Zach, & Jesse found some new duds and I was a lucky lady to be surrounded by such handsome men at the deli last night!

      TUESDAY
      NYC was fun! I love big cities: interesting people watching and an endless to-do list. The boys prefer the country- something about dirty streets, weird smells, second-hand smoke, and crowds with many 'interesting' people. Still, we all enjoyed ourselves. We ticked a lot of the boxes in addition to those already mentioned- walking over Brooklyn Bridge, Museum of Natural History, Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, Grand Central Station... and of course we watched France win the World Cup. Highlight was the Museum of Natural History- wow! Dinosaur bones, African animal exhibit, so many hands-on science experiments and a cool movie about the Big Bang Theory.      Read more

      Day 10

      Hiline and our last day!

      March 30, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      This morning Craig, Nick, Louise and Tony went downtown to the Stock Exchange. Aldo had organized a tour for them with Chris Coronetti, which they all enjoyed. Josy and I had intentions to get the Big Bus down to the area where we could do the Graffiti walk. Many crowds and in particular traffic jams prevented that once again. No kidding doing the Big Bus sucked so much!! I asked the driver to let us off anywhere when they kept trying to avoid the traffic jams. We got off at Union Square and had a Starbucks to calm the storm. We consequently decided to walk and do the Hiline – starting at the Chelsea Markets. That was huge fun – very trendy, nice food and then we popped up to the Hiline and walked quite a bit of it for about an hour. The ex-train line has been made into a walk above Manhattan – some art along the way. The weather had improved and we really enjoyed it. We eventually got off and tried to walk towards Macey’s getting a little lost (again) along the way. Macey’s was fun. We had lunch there – chicken sandwich but there was more to choose from. I purchased two long sleeved tops and a black tee-shirt with glitzy stars on it. Happy girl. Walked home and rested a little in the hotel room. Need to pack and Aldo is coming in to see us.
      As it turned out we met him at an amazing restaurant called Canaletto – apparently named after a Venetian poet – maybe!! It was the best meal we have had so far on the trip. My marinara spaghetti was delicious. Craig loved his buratta & white anchovies on sweet peppers and veal shank gnocchi. Zabaglione & berries were scrumptious too. Great night – last time we will see Aldo for a while. Amazing last day and tomorrow we move on to New Jersey with the Goldbergs. We have enjoyed staying at the Cambria suites location wise, but it has been noisy with all the building happening nearby.      Read more

      Day 9

      9/11 Memorial and Carmine's with Aldo!

      March 29, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Craig and I had breakfast in our room and then we all walked up to Madam Tussards to get our New York Pass bus tickets. Had to wait for ages for the bus because of a funeral of a firefighter, which had closed a number of blocks. Eventually, we made it downtown to the Wall Street area. It is very, very cold. We had a look at the Stock Exchange building and the BULL. There are always plenty of people taking photos there!! Next, we walked and found a coffee and muffin. Then we made it to the 9/11 Memorial which was absolutely spectacular. Loved seeing that. Too crowded to line up for the museum but seeing it was most worthwhile.
      More walking and eventually had lunch at another food hall type place. Very tasty sandwich!

      Getting back home took ages with the bus but we did see all along the east side. By then we were exhausted so Craig, Louise and I went to Macy’s, which was fun. Craig bought some lovely shirts (2) and also some white tee shirts. Macy’s gave us an extra 10% off on sale items. Back home for a needed rest. Tonight we took a limousine all the way out to Broadway and 90th (uptown) and… went to Carmine’s with Aldo and Helene. It was a huge Italian restaurant, with great atmosphere, pasta, salad and veal scallopini and great Cheesecake. The wine was great. It was hilarious because I believe they celebrated over 10 birthdays and every time we heard a very loud singing of Happy Birthday. Late home with taxis but a great finish to the day.      Read more

      Day 13

      Last day in NYC

      May 11, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      Our last day in NYC!!!!
      Started off with a walk to Madison Square Garden Arena for a behind the scenes tour. We didn’t really know what we would get to see initially but it was soooo good! Our tour guide was awesome, we got to see some cool stuff and the arena itself is pretty damn impressive.
      They have a lot of memorabilia all around the stadium - boxing, basketball, ice hockey - from famous games and events they’ve held! They also have a timeline of pictures running around one of the levels of big events that have happened on each day of the year, over the years!
      We got to go into the Lexus Suites and sit on the comfy seats and see how the rich people do it.....maybe one day!
      Off to the Bridge Level which is were the all the media people sit during the games and it was pretty awesome! Great views. There are tables along the front, each equipped with a screen, headphones and charging station. We got to do a virtual reality thing - as if we were attending a basketball game, ice hockey game and billy Joel concert which was fun! Billy Joel comes every month to do a show and always sells out!
      We then got to check out the view form the arena floor. Whilst we were there, there was a group of people trying the break the world record for something associated with foam rolling 🤔
      Next were the dressing rooms and they’re pretty damn fancy.

      Shake Shack for lunch for some awesome burgers

      And then off to the Intrepid museum which had a war ship and aircraft and that was cool to see. They also had some interactive stuff so we played along with the little kids 😂

      We watched Means Girls the musical - it was okay. They made it more modern which was good but it wasn’t as good as the other two shows we had seen. Off to the retro nightclub for some dancing which ended with a walk home in the rain ☔️      Read more

      Day 10

      Madison Square Garden

      March 29, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

      Dal Plaza abbiamo raggiunto Times Square per arrivare al Madison Square Garden dove abbiamo assistito ad una partita di Basket.
      Ho trovato i biglietti per un torneo universitario a 10 dollari e ci siamo ritrovati in posti migliori a quelli prenotati perché la gente non riempiva il Madison Square Garden e hanno preferito unire tutto il pubblico. Grandi!
      È stato divertente vedere le cheerleader e anche la partita è stata appassionante.      Read more

      The Met, Bloomingdales & Central Park

      March 29, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      We set off together but Craig and I left the rest to go to Penn Station to purchase our tickets to New Jersey. We then tried to get the Big Bus uptown. What a fiasco, the New York Pass has proven to be difficult to use. We waited and waited. It didn’t come to the designated stop so we asked and ended up walking for ages back to Broadway. After much wastage of time, we gave up on the Rockefeller Centre and Guggenheim and stopped at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was crowded but really wonderful. Great French paintings – Degas, Claude Monet, some Renoirs and Van Gough’s. The American art was also amazing, especially the Singer Sergeant females. The huge Egyptian Temple in the airy room and lots of other stuff were all good for the soul. However, the cafeteria lunch was not great and a total ripoff. It was lovely to walk through Central Park afterward and even though not very green yet, it is a gorgeous, contemplative spot. We eventually made it to Bloomingdales – love that place. They let us leave our coats etc and gave us 25% off vouchers – yeh! There was a gorgeous shoe display on in the lobby and we found a lovely Karen Miller dress for me ☺ ☺ Back home exhausted so we had a rest. In the evening Craig, Josy and I set off for the Flatiron district because it has been recommended for eating. After much difficulty, we settled on a wine bar called Punch and the food was good – we shared ravioli, salmon and meatball dishes. Back home to pick up Nick and then we walked to the Empire State Building for some night shots. Crowded but lots a fun. Another great day!Read more
