New York 2015

HWe arrived yesterday 20th November 2015 into Newark Liberty Airport and caught the bus into New York where we met up with Gareth and Sarah, they were at the end of their holiday. We had coffee and cake in Central Cafe in Pershing Square this is where a scene from the film Friends with Benefits was made. Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis were the stars. we said our goodbyes to Gareth and Sarah and walked round to our hotel. it is Club Quarters Grand Central off Lexington Avenue, fabulous location. the hotel is great, room is really well set up. table and corner sofa. comfy bed, microwave and fridge. 37inch tv. Docking station. air con.  Coffee maker. Blackout curtains, bathroom lovely with large shower area. Very comfortable room on the 6th floor. If you need additional pillows coffees, towels, there are rooms on each floor where you go and help yourself. On the third floor there is a room with two washer driers set up with complimentary washing powder. Fantastic set up. We went out exploring our local area last night as we were quite tired, we ended up buying a Chinese and brought it back to our hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a good sleep did waken up a few times, just trying to adjust to the new time zone.

Saturday 21st November 2015

This morning we headed out for breakfast. Arthur had the breakfast platter and I had freshly made pancakes with fresh fruit,delicious. Headed up to fifth avenue, the windows at Saks are beautifully decorated for xmas. Headed on to St Patrick's Cathedral  bought a wee ornament for my tree, it is absolutely stunning inside. Blue Bloods has been filmed inside. This means I've been in the same place as Tom Selleck.

Went into Trump Towers. What a place talk about opulent. Suffice to say we had to use the restrooms. Arthur came out with a wee smirk on his face and said tell Donald Trump I've just done a dump. Classy guy. We went to Times Square fabulous atmosphere Arthur kept getting accosted by Olaf and Spiderman. We then headed to Guys American Kitchen Bar where Arthur had a beer and I had a cocktail a Long Island punch. 28 dollars for the pleasure. We then went into the Rockefeller centre, wandered back towards the hotel not sure where we will dine tonight. We have been lucky so far with the weather.
