New York- Day 3

So on day three it was a little rainy and by little I  mean it was the tenth wettest day on record in New York! This ment we did mostly inside things!




We first went to Bloomingdales and had a little look around. The rain was pretty heavy and we thought at this time 'Oh I'm sure it will ease off' the sky looked so heavy and grey! You could not the the top of the skyscrapers today!  As we were up this way we also went to Dylan's Candy Bar, which is a really cool sweet shop. 







We wandered in the rain along to the corner of Central Park where we visited the Apple Shop and FAO Swartz, which is were the film Big is set. As me and Russ are massive kids at heart we had so much fun in there. The giant soft toys were my faves. I have a soft spot for cudderly things and Russ had to put up with my saying 'can I get this?' To what he replied 'hannah how are you going to get it home?' This was to the giant life size griaffe!! Also we had a go on The Big Piano! This was lots if fun! 





After a quick visit to Tiffany's where I bought some lovely Tiffany heart earrings. We headed to the Plaza for lunch. The Plaza is one of the poshest hotels in New York (also where home alone 2 is set) but for all you average joes like us you can visit it and feel posh by going to their food court area! This was like an Aladins cave of food, we ate in the Todd English part (I think) where they had every cuisine imadginble! You sat in with all the differnet cooking stations which we found so interesting to watch! After much deliberating we decided on decided on Dim Sim. We had some amazing duck buns and some pork dumplings! Thinking of it now my mouth is watering! 


For the rest of that day we dodged the rain as much as we could by going in and out of shops, we ended the day in Grand Central Station, the busiest station in the world. It's so nice just to stand and watch the amont of people who walk in and out, each one in their own little world going to differnt places. We stopped by as I heard they do amazing cheese cake in a place called Juniors. I was sold! We went for a yummy slice of chocolate swirl cheesecake, it was to die for, today was a good food day! 




Once we got back to the hotel we dried off a little and had a well deserved rest ready for another wet walk to Five Napkin Burger for our meal that night! This was equally as yummy as all the other food we had eaten today! We sound like a couple of pigs lol! 

That's day three!
