New York Friday

We love staying in the St Marks Place area. We've visited it a lot before and Cuba Street in Wellington has always reminded us of it.

Our apartment is above a cafe and there are lots of other eateries near us

 Last night we had dinner at a Moroccan restaurant just along the street called Cafe Mogador. The meals were fantastic - Marjorie had grilled chicken, Linden had the meatballs and artichoke tagine and Matthew had fish with fennel caramelised with pastis.


Friday morning we we went shopping at Macy's, passing Empire State on the way.



During some of the time that the girls were shopping Matthew walked up to Times Square.

After shopping we walked over to Grand Central station...

The long and the short of it
