Day 2 we went to the Rockefeller centre and visited the Top of the Rock observation deck on the 70th floor. I don't think I've ever been that high up in a building before but the view was amazing. We could see the whole of Central Park and also the Empire State building and the new World Trade Centre One tower which is nearly finished. It was pretty quiet up there when we went but it was getting busier as we left. We seemed to have a knack for avoiding the crowds all week actually!
After that we walked down 5th Avenue to the Grand Central Terminal which was huge and far too beautiful inside for a train station. We stopped there for lunch where I had the biggest burger ever! It was pretty amazing.
We walked back up 5th Avenue to get back to the hotel and had a look in some of the shops. They were mostly expensive designer places so we didn’t buy anything except some NYC souvenirs from one of the (many!) gift shops.
In the evening we went to see our first Broadway show, Annie. It was very good and our seats were great despite being pretty cheap! Jane Lynch played Miss Hannigan and I thought she was really good, although I'm not a fan of Glee. It was great being able to see Times Square all lit up when we came out of the theatre, and it was still packed!
I'll post about day 3 and 4 together, hopefully tomorrow.
Bye for now!
