Another US trip report - but this one's about the home of disco balls and hand transplants

From there, I caught the subway up to Columbia university with the intention of walking through the northern part of Central Park. I saw the restaurant that was used in Seinfeld (at least for the exterior shots - the interiors were filmed elsewhere).

I just walked and walked.

Northern parts of Central Park.

Then back on the subway, down to around 30th st.

I found a new travel hack in New York. That some apartments have free wifi downstairs for visitors and I took advantage - was good enough to watch the '440 Coffee Club' on Instagram. I had a late lunch at a place called Pio Pio that was Peruvian focused.

We both had salad and the lunch special of quarter chicken.

Then I made the journey back to New Jersey stopping for ice cream at Penn Station. I went to a chain called Anita's that is in Australia but is from Israel originally. I had vanilla, raspberry and banana.

Finally got 'home' at 7pm. It took over 2 days, but the cats were beginning to grow on me.
