We finally made it across the pond and after a long flight
and an hour’s yellow cab ride to 42nd Street we checked in, dropped
our bags, freshened up and decided we needed some…brunch!
The weather is looking so fine here in New York City and
what better way to start our stay here than a spot of alfresco eating in a park
near to where we’re staying. So past the Chrysler Building and buying some
sandwiches and pastries at Grand Central Terminal we settled down just a few
minutes after in a perfect spot at Bryant Park, a charming little green oasis
nestled in amongst the towering skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan.
We are looking forward to a fabulous week ahead!
Mark and Gaz :)
This gardening blog follows our journey as we create our Tropical and Exotic themed garden. We hope you'll enjoy the journey as much as we do. We started our Exotic Garden in 2005 and this site will show its development, as well as our travels, both abroad and within the UK to gardens, nurseries and friends.
Happy Holiday x
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the U.S. can't wait for tomorrow's post.
ReplyDeleteIt will certainly be fabulous to see your posts about this trip. Welcome! Are you going to see the Highline? It's so different from your own gardening style, but I've heard it's great!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time guys - look forward to further postcards from New York and hope that the weather stays fine.
