New York City!
We caught the JFK air train one stop, then called the hotel shuttle to collect us. The hotel was suitable, though nothing fancy, and located next to the cities Sanitation Department (think lots and lots of garbage trucks). We were only there for a quick overnight anyway.
With only one afternoon in the Big Apple, there was no time to waste. We caught the local bus (I think the Q10) then the subway into the city. First stop: Katz's Deli. I asked the gentleman behind the counter which sanga he recommended, tried the pastrami, and ordered. Boy was it big! Rather over priced at $20, so something I'd only do once, but it was yum.
Then we did a slow wander up Broadway, popping in and out of shops, until we reached the Flat Iron district. I really love that building.
I also spotted along the way the most ginormous Peanut Butter cups...
We hung out in Eaterly for a while, enjoying a coffee (or cold chocolate in my case) and gasping over all the fresh cheeses and produce.
And before long it was time for our dinner stop: Momofuku Noodle Bar. This place has been on my list for quite a while, and it did not disappoint. We timed our arrival well, getting a seat straight away, when within minutes there was a crowd waiting for their turn. Momofuku ramen: A+.
And before I knew it, my time in the city was over. Back onto the train to the shuttle pick-up stop, and collected again by the hotel bus. A little wind down with our AA-provided bubbles, then bed. We had a big day ahead of us.
