We woke up to a massive storm on day 75 in Miami with heavy rain so we were pleased to be leaving and heading back to New York for one more night before flying to LA. We arrived into NY in the late afternoon and jumped on a few trains to Brooklyn where we were staying for the night. The hostel was pretty cool and we were told Bedford Avenue was a must for dinner so we got dressed and went out. We decided on Thai/Chinese for dinner and it was really good, amazing...

We then jumped on the subway and headed for Rockafella Centre to take in the magnificent views of this city which was a great idea as the weather was beautiful and instead of going up the Empire State building we were able to get it in our pictures along with the rest of the city, great ...
