26000 steps later and another day done in The Big Apple. As with tradition we started the day off by getting our faces on a billboard in Times Square.
This morning was all about district hopping. Starting at Flatiron and moving through Greenwich, Meatpacking, High Line and down to the Financial district. Unfortunately it was Soggy Sunday so most of it was spent umbrella dodging. These areas are a lot quieter to what you’d find around places like Times Square so is nice to escape the hustle and bustle. We managed to stumble across the Magnolia Bakery and as the queue wasn’t out the door, we had to quality control the cakes. Lovely cake but even for me there was slightly too much buttercream!
Santa has found a new love for photography; I didn’t think it was possible to take so many angles of the Flatiron building.
This afternoon we headed over to Brooklyn and the DUMBO area to check out the Manhattan Bridge. Again Mother Nature was in a strop and decided to add a thick layer of fog across the East River. It did however create a very eerie atmosphere which made for some great photos.
As darkness fell we headed back into Manhattan to finally see the Rockerfeller Tree which was still being decorated when we were last here. The area is so so busy but it’s easy to see why. The tree is fabulously festive and the Saks light show was beautiful. There was even a proposal on the ice rink – the 3rd we’ve seen today!
Dinner tonight was something I have wanted to do for ages; Ellen Stardust Diner. The 40 minute queue was so worth it as were treated to the most fabulously camp show full of Broadway and Disney. To top it off I had an enormous burger and brownie. Bring on the poo knife!
