Times Square visits

When visitors are here, especially when it's their first New York experience, there are certain things that they just have to see. 

And as we've had quite a few visitors recently it follows that we've made several post-dinner trips to Times Square to take in the crazy neon spectacle and even crazier crowds.

It may not be cool, or somewhere that real New Yorkers would ever hang out but it is completely overwhelming and so unlike anything in the UK that I kind of love it for that. 

In very small doses.

 We even squeezed onto the big screen! Can you spot us?

 

A week of being a tourist

We've had our first UK visitors this week and it's been brilliant fun. 

It was so lovely to get to spend time with such good old friends and have the chance to show them some of our New York discoveries.

We really made the most of every minute (I went a bit Monica with a printed schedule!) and the 6 days were spent walking, talking, exploring, drinking, shopping, laughing and doing a lot of eating (of course). 

More details on what we did to follow but here are a few photos of us being tourists in Manhattan (and Brooklyn).

Come again soon please!

A week in iphone pictures

This past week looked a little like this...

 Returning home with a $10 mirror from Craig's list we ended up walking through Times Square...

I've been volunteering and it's been great to be back in a productive office environment. 

Especially when this is what I see when I leave the building in the evening.

 Commuting views.

It's been a really cold week and apparently the snow is heading our way. 

Fingers crossed we wake up to a white weekend tomorrow!
