New York Day 1

We woke up this morning 7am local time, still thinking we were on UK time (ready for lunch)..

We headed out to Brekky.. wound up going for an all you can eat buffet at the Hard Rock Cafe... Scrambled eggs with cheese.. was different...

Took a walk up and down Times Square getting familiar with our surroundings...

Spent a while trying to find a pub to catch the Man Utd game.. started at 10am NYC Time... had no enjoy at all (Lucy kindly reminded me we hadn't come all the way to New York to watch a game of football!!!.. thought it was best to agree)!!!!

Headed briefly back to the hotel.. so Lucy could layer up (all her jumpers plus a couple of mine!!).. Suddenly remembered we had tickets for the Empire State building so decided to do that...

Just about to enter the building when we got offered the chance to upgrade to the New York Sky Ride!!! oooooohhhhhhh and for the pleasure of only an extra 18 bucks each...

The skyride was actually pretty cool!!! like a simulator.. Not sure Lucy enjoyed it that much (something about how tightly she was squeezing my hand gave it away)...

Skyride over we headed up to the 86th floor and the observatory... Eeefffiinnnn freezing would be the best description!!! oh yeah and the views weren't that bad either!!! Not sure any of my pictures really did it justice though (we're new to this blog thing!!!))

Empire State building over, we had a walk back to Times Square to take some more piccies and found a shop devoted to all things M&M's.. random.. only in America hey!!!

Headed back to the hotel and found an Irish Pub opposite that showed the football!!! (just goes to show my sense of direction really is that piss poor!!)

Found out Man U had beaten Tottenham.. come on!!!!

We're off to a Broadway Show tonight... Mary Poppins....

Until tomorrow!!!!

Lucy and Lee
