Triple Treat Tour July 2016 Day 4 TOTR, Grand Central Station, 9/11, Katz Deli & Outback Steakhouse

The previous day is HERE

Wednesday 6 July

Our last day in NY

We had originally planned to be here for 7 nights including full days for a trip to Woodbury Outlets and another over to Six Flags in New Jersey

But these days were sacrificed to make way for Washington

We walked over 10 miles a day in NYC, those extra days may well have been finished us off so it’s as well we went to DC


We have so much we still didn’t see, especially the museums … but always good to have a list for next time

And so we return to our last day. This was to fit in our last two Must Dos – TOTR and 9/11

Anything else was to be a bonus

Today was also going to see the TCFS

Anyone who travels with offspring will immediately know what this is

Yes

The Customary Family Spat

There is always one somewhere

We had done really well

It is 5 days since we set off – this is probably a record

At the time I couldn’t understand why today ended up a bit flat

But after reading all we did yesterday I realise ………..

We were just plain knackered

And had been adjusting to life in each other’s pockets

We all know TCFS occurs over the most trivial thing – like who ate the last Honeybun or left the wet towel on the floor.

It’s never over anything important.

Onto the day itself

We were awake around 5 am and took in the fantastic sunrise over the amazing skyline

It took until 6 for our legs and feet to be civil enough to work properly and we had the usual hotel breakfast.

We were not in a huge rush this morning - the first stop is not far away at the Rockerfeller.

I figured as long as we were there by mid-morning, it wouldn’t be too bad.

After all , everyone else will still be trying to exit the naffing ESB from last night

We set off around 0930 taking a nice walk up to the Centre , passing Bryant Park ( and failing to take any pics) It did look lovely around there

We were in Rockerfeller Plaza around 1015

Now when we watch this we can say - we’ve been here !



You always see this place in the background ..





We went in here by mistake








Before being directed around the corner ..





Walked straight in – no queue – ESB take note

Happy faces



Such a lovely entrance, very sleek

We did the obligatory photo mimicking this one, but we didn’t stop to look at it on the way out




It was a more interesting area but as no queue it was actually a rush to look at it all







Some random photobombs this pic



This is supposed to be a shot of the amazing lights as the elevator wooshes up

Its an epic fail but I wanted to remember how brill that lift was !



And then you step out to see this









But only if you are not catching Pokemon
