Sharon kindly headed out and got us coffee and we just relaxed at home until I decided that I really wanted to try and get out at least for a little while even though I was not really up for it. We ventured out into midtown to look at the Radio City Music Hall and the Rockerfeller centre ice skating rink and huge Christmas tree they have in the forecourt.
Not a great decision it turns out as every other fucking tourist in New York seemed to be there. It was choas. The biggest most crowded space we have seen yet in New York. This was not the place for me to be when every little bump from a person was causing my muscle spasm to shoot awesome pains throughout my upper body.
We quickly got out of there and headed further across midtown towards Grand Central Station which we hoped would be less crowded. Thankfully it was and we spent about 15 minutes in the grand hall taking it all in. To be honest as nice as it is, I was expecting more from the way people have described it to me. Still, it wasn't too crowded and I wanted to get some photos here so it was good to see it.
We then went to the Chyrsler building, which again turns out to just be another building when you are standing right at the bottom of it. It is best seen from a distance where you can see the iconic shape of the top of the building.
A stop at Starbucks for a Soy Chai and then a blue C metro subway back to 50th St station and a short walk back to our apartment. We then snacked on some fresh olives and veges we had bought this week and Sharon cooked some dinner.
