No snow today only rain! Day started with having to buy a new phone as mine died yesterday.
Headed down 10th Avenue, after breakfast at yesterday’s diner, towards Empire State Building. Stopped in at Kmart to buy umbrella because it was raining - needless to say as soon as brolly was purchased it stopped raining. Arrived Empire State, joined the crowds - not too many - and took the lifts to 86th floor! Venture out to take photos & have never been so cold in my life - could hardly work the camera! Luckily the view was clear and spectacular.
Walked from Empire State Building up 5th Avenue to Times Square. Checked out the shows but there wasn’t any thing we really wanted to see. Times Square very busy - they were setting up for NYE. Found a ‘hostelry’ for warming beverage and then headed off for the Rockefeller Centre.
Queued again for tickets and the entered the lifts - this one had a clear ceiling and you were watching yourself travel to the top of the building - not good if you have any qualms about lifts!!
The view was spectacular from the top and you had a good view of the Empire State Building. It was still freezing!!
Walked back to hotel - miles away from Rockefeller Building. We walked so far I think I’m a few centimetres shorter than yesterday.
Drinks at hotel bar and the up the block to a Steak House. Food was good and so was the wine. Wine needed to be because it was more expensive than the meal. The prices seem higher than expected.
