So, how cool is this place. They must use more power in one night at Times Square than a third world country would consume in a decade. It is amazing. Check out the photos even if it's nothing like being there it should give you an idea. Piccadilly Circus was great but pales to insignificance compared to this place. They have an M&M shop right on Times Square that takes up 2 floors!
The day was great but cold. -6 degrees but clear blue skies so off we went on the tourist trip around the city. Ground Zero, Madison Square Garden, Empire State Building, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty and lots of shopping for the girls ....... again!! Macy's, H&M etc etc.
Big surprise for Tessa when we found 50% tickets for "Chicago" on Broadway, woo hoo. We(Louis and I) also took the Soprano's tour when we arrived on Sunday and went to the Bada Bing. It was Louis's first strip joint visit so how cool for it to be the Bada Bing! For all the Soprano's fans, see if you can pick out the other photos from the show...
Don't forget to check out Louis's new "cap" in the photos and see if you can pick out the "real" Statue of Liberty....
We bought New York hot dog's at US$2.50 each and pancakes but forgot to buy the donuts and share them with our NYPD officers ;-)
Drove to Boston today and it's even colder here at -11 and there is a cold front moving in !!! Connie is really over the weather and has sworn to burn her thermals the day she gets back home. I must admit that -11 is getting a bit on the cool side, even for me. We will do the Boston sights tomorrow and let you know how that goes but for now, hope you enjoy the NY photos.
Bye for now from Frank.
