Today we woke up fairly early to start our sight seeing. We hit up Pick a Bagel on our way out. I had a great garlic bagel with veggie cream cheese and Matt had an everything bagel with regular cream cheese. They were pretty good!
We decided we would do the 48 hour bus tour which we could hop on and off as we wanted. They had several stops all over the city, so it seemed like a pretty good deal. It was a double decker bus, so the prime seats were located on the upper level. Among the stops were Central Park and The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine. The Cathedral is under construction, but still beautiful. Central Park is also beautiful. You walk through and people are walking, jogging, biking, playing soccer, Frisbee, and just laying about. It is such a peaceful place and could not have been more perfect. We walked through a Quiet Garden filled with beautiful flowers and plants. There were butterflies everywhere. At this point I was super tired and grumpy and yelled at Matt for chasing a butterfly away that I wanted to take a picture of. Then he was mad at me for yelling at him. But then we made up.
After the bus tour, we decided to head back to the hotel to move our stuff to our new room and grab some lunch. We ate at a place down the street from the hotel called Carnegie Deli. When we sat down they had fresh pickles sitting on the table for us! I was in heaven. Matt and I decided to share a Reuben Sandwich, which was gigantic, but super good. We couldn’t even finish the whole thing!
After lunch we decided to walk around the street fair going on along the street our hotel was on. It was somewhat a waste of time looking back. It was a lot like a swap meet. But I did get to share a Banana Italian Ice with Matt, which made it completely worth it.
Then it was nap time, we were all pooped.
We got up in time to catch the night tour on the bus. This was not a hop on, hop off tour. It took us through Upper Manhattan and to Brooklyn. There happened to be an accident on the bridge and we sat stopped for probably half an hour.
After the tour we were ready for dinner, so we headed to Ray’s Pizza. Now, there are several different versions of Ray’s and I’m not sure which one this is, there’s Famous Ray’s, Ray’s Original, Famous Original Ray’s, etc. So, who could keep track?!
We hit up a bar on the way back to the hotel, which was a dud. There were only a few people in there and it was bad service.
