Terrible! These pics are almost two months late. We had such a great time visiting Daphne - and we packed so much into the first day!
First stop: bagels! Toasted sesame with scallion cream cheese...mmmm. we may have eaten here six times in four days!
Then off for our first ride on the subway! Thank goodness we had Daphne to lead the way. Thor and I were bumbling around like country bumpkins.
First view of the city: the buildings extend for miles!
There are cute little grocery stores peppered all over the city. This one had a fabulous chocolate selection
Into Little Italy: of course we had to sample some classic treats!
Then onto 'the best' icecream in New York: VanLeeuwen's! They had unique flavors like pistachio and strawberry balsamic and it was excellent!
And what is a trip to NYC without a traditional slice of pie! (are you seeing a theme here? really this should be 'The Tingey's Eat Manhattan by Storm')
After fortifying ourselves properly we thought it best to get some exercise and headed over to the West Side to go to The Highline and take a walk. it's basically an elevated park on an old railway. It's beautiful! Definitely go if you visit NYC - it was our favorite place!
There is some beautiful street art in this part of town.
After that it was getting late do we headed off towards Times Square to see it at night. It was crazy! Pretty sure I only need to see that once - so many people!
From there we headed to a proper late night dinner around 10-10:30 pm. The best part of visiting the East Coast is that I could function on West Coast time the whole trip and stay up 'late' (1am) which was really only 10pm my time. Score!
