Clare & I went to New York for my 40th birthday - it was excellent!
We had a great time.
I recommend the end of January for a visit: it was quiet, and cold, but we didn't get any rain and the skies were blue.
It was a bit like a fairy tale really: everything we did was brilliant. Thank you God!
(OK - selective memory: I've deleted the fact that the first night was very noisy so that we changed hotel rooms for the other nights!)
We strolled up the Empire State Building - NO queues, we pootled round art galleries, ate in bustling crowded yummy restaurants, saw Grease! on Broadway (at £20 each), bought me a camera at a silly price, went to Redeemer Church, and generally wandered around having a nice time.[evo_gallery]372829137400620[/evo_gallery]
