Day 1 in New York

We started the day by taking a walk down 5th Avenue.

On the way downtown, we passed by the Empire State Building, Maddison Square Park and down past the Flatiron Building which sadly had a bunch of scaffolding around it...

Down in Washington Square Park we found a bunch of circles drawn on the ground in chalk.

We stood in the kissing spot.

We then went on for a "proper" New York pizza at Famous Ben's Pizza.

After walking through Soho and NYU, we went to see the apartment from Friends and Carrie Bradshaw's apartment.

The High Line was suggested to us as somewhere to see. We walked the entire length of it and followed it past Vessel and up to the Intrepid Museum before heading back to the hotel through Hell's Kitchen.

We had vegan burgers for dinner in a place that was mostly empty space. Although the burgers were brilliant, the sweet potato fries left a lot to be desired.

Just a short walk away we managed to find the Magnolia bakery where Rachael wanted to get some of the famous New York cheesecake she so craved. She got some red velvet cake instead.
