The subway took us two stops to 50th street where we alighted for some lunch at the highly recommended stardust diner. Here the staff are all aspiring broadway stars & take turns signing popular & nostalgic songs. The diner itself is on a 1950's theme & serves large portions with large shakes. At the end of my burger & shake, I was lucky to be able to get out of my chair. Next stop 5th Avenue where Charlotte got to experience shopping tourist ne...

Someone incorrectly called my room at 10:00, so thinking this was Charlotte I got ready. When I came through however no one was ready so I returned via Starbucks to my room. We did not leave again until 14:00, by which time I was actually feeling worse than earlier in the day. We took the subway down to Wall St, where I managed to loose Charlotte & Lorna as the doors closed behind my when I got on the train. We reunited in time to take the guided tour o...

Charlotte & Lorna were having trouble keeping pace with me on the streets so I have tried to slow my walk as to not to lose them. We stopped off in Macy's to get my birthday present. Almost 12 years ago I had previously had a watch from Macy's & now I have new one that I am very happy ...

With the sun out in force I took the opportunity to sunbathe for an hour. What...

I got up early but once again relaxed in the apartment. Today I strolled down this part of Broadway popping into a few stores along the way to window shop. I walked to the water on the west side for some exercise & to be in the sun. I picked up some chilli for lunch & a mountain dew to drink. The evening started with some drinks in the Manchester bar. We grabbed dinner in Little Italy. A tasty seafood pasta & pizza was just the ticket. After dinne...
