Cold morning for a walk to train station ! Train left on time as is usually the case with Amtrak. Scenic ride for first hour or so and not too crowded on train
Arrived on time but room wasn’t ready so stored bags and went for a walk. NYC is the type of place you want to see at start of holidays when energy levels are high . The difference walking the streets here compared to Boston and Washington is significant. You feel like Croc Dundee always walking against flow . Everyone is impatient and simply ignore pedestrian crossings and green lights ! I found The Australian pub which was quaint but did enjoy the meat pie. Did love Chapelli on the toilet wall . Checked in just before 3 pm and got upgraded to a high floor room. Headed back out again for one last look at Times Square et al. And maybe a beer….
Have a full morning to fill in tomorrow before starting trek out to JFK for 6 pm flight . Looks like my bare bones offer to upgrade to business class was not accepted 😉 Try and find a good coffee place for breakfast. Night all
