On our penultimate (second to last...I know you know that, but just in case) morning in New York, of course we slept until 9 o'clock ish, though the clocks changing helped. My body has decided to adjust just in time for going home
Today was my first bath with a new plug in place, this one, as a novelty, actually stops the water from draining from the bath......how very quaint. The bath was a total success with the water level staying constant, and me generally becoming cleaner as the bath went along
We tried Grand Central for breakfast again today, but on not finding anything suitable we decided to pound the pavements (sidewalks) to look for an alternative. We ended up in a little pizza/panini/salad/etc/etc place where Jac had a ham & cheese bagel (which looked amazing) and I went for a bacon, egg and cheese roll....mmmmm
We carried on our walk, heading back to the Rockefeller Center (centre) for our NBC Studio Tour. The tour was very good, I had no idea just how many shows NBC made until realising they are NBC Universal...I think we all agree though that their proudest achievement should still be Saved By The Bell
I'd never heard of Jimmy Fallon until a friend recently posted a video of him and Justin Timberlake on Facebook performing a medley of rap songs.....which I'm listening to as I type....live on his show. Well I can now say I've been in that very studio, along with that of the Dr Oz show and Saturday Night Live.
The highlight of the tour was probably purchasing some 'Nerds' in the shop afterwards though....mmmmm
We can now say we've been to, and through Harlem, I'm now officially gangster.......don't think I'd rush to walk through there after dark mind. We have also
travelled the whole perimeter of Central Park and passed landmarks like the Guggenheim Museum, and the building where John Lennon was killed...and Yoko Ono still lives there.....apparently. We also saw the place where a young Michael Jackson got his first big break....apparently
After the tour we went to the box office to collect our theatre tickets and then went on to Madame Tussaud's. The waxworks were all very impressive, though the best would have to be that of the woman photographing the spice girls....we waited for a good 2 minutes....so as to not walk in front of her shot....before realising she was effectively a candle without a wick
We followed Madame Tussaud's with a dinner at Ruby Tuesdays on Time Square....the ribs were the sort people write blogs about....delicious, the meat just fell off the bones, so as well as great good I managed to not end up with sticky fingers...saucy
We topped off our last evening in New York with a visit to Broadway, and if I had to sum up the show in one word, that word would be.....Expensive. But seriously, it was fantastic, and we had outstanding seats...if you ever get the change to see it, then do it....though it won't ever be coming to The Mayflower
Lazy morning planned for tomorrow, hotel check out at 12, then midnight flight home so an afternoon of shopping awaits :-)
Bye bye for now
