Last full day in the city,so we wandered north a little, checked out a couple of craft shops I wanted a look at, and ended up having lunch in the Parker Meridien, a very posh hotel on 56th Street.
We weren't quite as out of place as you might think, because behind this curtain,
lies one of New York's best kept secrets!
A small room, about 15 foot squared holds an old fashioned, down and dirty burger joint that would look more at home in a roadside motel! Oh, but the food's good!
Had a wander round the bottom end of Central Park. Some day, we'll spend a day or two exploring all of it, but not today! Next stop was FAO Schwartz. Little bit disappointed, as they didn't have nearly as many collectable dolls as last year - but they did still have the baby dolls that creep Chris out! You can also make your own muppet, but as they come in at $100+, we decided not to. They didn't look as good as they do on the website, either.
Back to the hotel to pack, via drinks at Trump Tower!
This evening, we headed back to Coney to watch the Cyclones again, this time beating the Williamsberg Crosscutters. :) I could make a habit of this!
We're now almost packed and ready to come home. Check out tomorrow is 11am, so we'll mooch about a bit, before heading to JFK at tea time. Flight is DL154, leaving JFK at 10pm, arriving Manchester 10.10am the next morning.
I don't expect to get a chance to update this from the airport, although you never know, so we'll see y'all when we get back to good old Blighty!
Today's pics here.
