New York 30th November. 2015

Another lovely dry day. We ventured along Madison Avenue to Central Park where we hired the horse and carriage. The carriage was white with purple interior and a big plush purple throw to keep you warm. The horse was called Gino who was a lovely looking beast. We went right through Central Park and was given a lot of good information by the guide Peter. When we stopped he took some photos for us and I had a chat with Gino the horse. Don't think Gino was enamoured that I had no snacks cos he gave me a wee nip on my hand. We then walked along to the diner called Astro have to say some of the best grub we've had. We then walked back along 6th Avenue to the hotel. Got ready and headed off to Radio City to see the Christmas Spectacular I absolutely loved it, you're given a free Xmas hat and three D glasses. The three d section is Santa on his sledge going through New York. Brilliant. We then made our way to the Marriott Marquis Hotel to dine in the revolving restaurant. It is on the 48th floor we got a table at the window which was perfect. It was a buffet at 38 dollars a head. Lots of salad choices, hot choices, buffalo wings, mashed potatoes, beef ribs and penne pasta in vodka. Dessert section was the best. Arthur had a bourbon on the rocks. I had a glass of Pinot Grigio the bill came to 138.98 dollars. 18.98 was the eighteen percent gratuity. We also bought tickets for Thursday night for the new musical. On your feet the story of Gloria and Emilo Estefan. I hope it's good because the two tickets cost 298 dollars. All In all a fabulous day.
