Yesterday was a PITA. We needed to leave the EU from the same airport you came in so we had to fly back to Frankfurt before heading to NYC. But anyway some 20hrs later...

We arrive at the hotel. If you could have shot the Young Ones in our London hotel room, you could shoot Mad Men in our hotel room. Exactly how an unkept 1920s hotel would look by the 60s. However the location is awesome, across the road from the Russian Tea Room (not sure why I know that name) and Carnegie Hall. Kids in to bed then Gab and I tag teamed to go outside and look around. In the end we all crashed, but not for long. The kids were up at 4 ready get into the day. We went for a walk in the park and scouted out a few diners for breakfast. I got what looks like an awesome panoramic of the kids in the park looking out to 60th, have a look for that one in particular.

After a New York Diner breakfast (like in the movies) we headed off to the hop-on bus for the morning. This place is huge, and packed solid with people doing stuff, in a hurry generally. From the tour bus spent an hour or so just in Times Square, literally too much to do. The theaters, M&M World, Disney, people selling everything, Hurshey's, etc. We made our way down to the Garment district and into Macy's for bit before heading home in the early evening.

Everyone but Gab fell asleep for a few minutes. 10 minutes later we were all ready to head back out for diner at 7pm. We got sidetracked - first to the NHL shop, Nintendo world, Legoland (closed by the time we go there) ice skating at 30 Rock and finally the observation deck. This place must bread ADD, worse than HK. By this time its 9:45 and the meltdown starts. No time for diner, we grab corner dogs and head home.

Everyone is asleep behind me, my eyes are fighting for the same cause. But New York, everything is open, I'm heading back out :)
