We had a typical NY breakfast this morning in our hotel - beautiful fresh bagels with cream cheese, donuts (plain, jam, iced), pastries and coffee. We hit the streets for a walk around around our surrounding area on 32nd St and walked towards Times Square (amazing) up to the Theatre Distict to join our half day tour with "On-board" Tours to familiarize ourselves with this very busy city. Our tour was 5.5 hours in total and encompassed the following areas in NY - Greenwich Village downtown to Wall Street, Sea port pier where we boarded a boat which took us out to view the Brooklyn Bridge, NY skyscrapers, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. We also visited Chinatown, Hells Kitchen, Battery Park, Chelsea, Central Park, drove
down 5th Avenue and received any "tips" from our tour guide (and local Brooklyn lady), Faith. Our tour finished at 7.30pm so we set off to have dinner at the Soup Nazi's kitchen (from Seinfeld show) and we all enjoyed our soup even though Nick was told "no soup for you" when he first ordered his soup! We walked home taking in all the lights at Times Square and stopped and purchased a cupcake each from a local bakery shop named "Crumbs". We were fairly exhausted after our first day in the "big smoke".
