Triple Treat Tour July 2016 Day 3 Part 2 Midtown Sights, Ellen's Stardust Diner & Times Square
Earlier today is just HERE
We set off at 1100 with the plan being to go up 5th Avenue and come back down Broadway , seeing what we could along the way Andy was manfully coping with his hangover but distinctly not his usual chirpy self 5th Avenue – well it was busy and we were not overwhelmed with it I did like it here though and we remembered it from The Day after Tomorrow ( even though the Reading Room from that film is closed) I have such a fondness for libraries – this was such a grand one too. But it was only a fleeting visit – one to return to another day for a longer visit This photo has a backstory I had asked the teens to take a pic of me – they spend their days, nay lives, attached to digital gadets and gizmos and yet it seemed utterly beyond their capabilities to push a button on a digital camera. This must have been at least the dozenth shot – hence the grimace It had become a photo of principle Andy had gone for a wander and on returning was advised “ Mum’s not happy” I only wanted a photo Never mind It is a stunning building We saw the Chrysler building – the sky still looked a little overcast We could just see Grand Central station in front but didn’t stop there today – that was on tomorrows list Carrying on up 5th Avenue and the teens nipped into Best Buy – if only to make use of the free wifi… Because Pokemon Go had been released and it was to be noses to screen from here on in We dropped into the Christmas store and bought an Xmas Tree dec I cant rotate this at the moment, but will do at some point Loved the Elf ! Yes its totally tacky – but I loved it Saks looked splendid – despite the facelift Past Van Gogh’s ear – although I thought it was an empty bathtub till I read my city guide These skyscrapers were just so breathtaking everywhere you looked I know , it's not any old skyscraper, it's the Rockerfeller . We are back here tomorrow And then the contrasting architecture I just love the mix in this pic, old, new, upmarket store, yellow NY cabs – it really is a living movie set There were definite niggles by now – with a view being expressed that we had been walking “forever” to get to our lunch destination To be clear “forever” was 50 minutes Hangry Man was definitely surfacing So it was a relief to turn past here As it meant we were not far away
