Yum
I have a picture of that police car parked on the bridge itself. See more...

We really liked Grimaldis - nice staff as well. The police car was very cute!

Yes New Yorkers can be a bit more abrupt than we’re used to, particularly at the airport.
The tickets at the station sound a bit of a nightmare and can see why it upset you. Glad that the subway lady was friendly and helpful and hope you managed to get it refunded.
Your pizza looks good and the weather looks fabulous! Looking forward to the next instalment. See more...

Unfortunately, it's really put me off booking with AirBnB in future as this was last minute stress that we just didn't need. We had a good experience with them in Maine and the apartment we got in the end was great but it's left me feeling wary.
Fortunately, most of the New Yorkers we met were much friendlier!

It wasn't the best start, but it did get better!

Glad you managed to get out and about - pizza is always good to lift your spirits! See more...

Pizza is generally the answer. I think you win for worst start to a holiday though - I felt so bad for you!

I'm amazed we did so much on our first day looking back!
