Monday morning in the Big Apple. Cold and windy. -2C. The snow is still melting, the sidewalks awash with water. After preparations to layer up and post bagels for breakfast we venture out on another adventure.
Central Park - snow covered, cold. Squirrels were running around looking for food. A walk seemed like a nice thing but the paths were wet and icy and it was quite treacherous so we decided to skirt around the edges to take in the vista.
Central Park - yet more snow and no go. Can you believe it gets into the 30C mark in summer in New York?
Horse drawn carriages. A wonderful way to experience the beauty of Central Park. The mayor of New York say's he is planning to ban the rides as he is concerned about the treatment of the horses.
Down in the Subway and enjoying the mosaic's at the Columbus station.
What a great shot with the Empire State building in the background.
Times Square
Thought we'd switch to black and white for a more artistic view.
View from our room at The Marriot Newark. We returned to Newark in preparation for our flight to London the next day. The sun glowing in the background nearing the end of daylight. The time is 4.00pm and it will be dark in about 45 minutes.
Impressions of New York
Bold, brash, loud, great, noisy, busy, cold, slippery, it's a happening place ............
On our way out of the city we popped into one of the New York deli's and got ourselves a Reuben sandwich. Pastrami on rye with cheese, pickle and coleslaw. Toasted. Delicious but a word of warning, portion sizes are huge so one sandwich between two people is sufficient. After all we don't want to be supersized when we return home to Oz.
Time for song.......... written in 1976, New York State of Mind. Can you name the artist and which album the song appeared on? Go on have a Big Shot!
