New Yack

We took a train from Providence to New York. The train conductors have been so helpful on all our train journeys, so far. This time he walked down through the train and told us he had 4 seats ready for us at the front of train, as he had seen us struggling on! Stick that in your GWR cigar and smoke it Brunel!

Arriving into Penn Station, was an experience, as was working out how to get across the river for less than the cost of a mortgage….anyway we arrived.

Here are some pictures from the end of our street:

Our first trip back across to Manhattan, based on a weather forecast of poor weather, we headed for The Metropolitan Art Gallery…..via a bus and the subway….Barnaby is a bit of an art buff, and we went straight to the European end of things, specifically Van Gogh and Picasso….

Next we wandered around Central Park, took in the (very good value) boating…next to the Lobe Boathouse

Alice then forced us to a (not very good value) Ice Cream place – apparently its where all the “YouTubers” go (?)

Further wanderings found Trump Tower (9 for Goldness, 8 for Security, 4 for Maximum Service Height and 55 for Physical Strength), Rockefeller Building (8 for Goldness, 1 for Security, 6 for Maximum Service Height, 75 for Physical Strength) and Grand Central Station (7, 0, 3, 85 + bonus 100 for trains)
