Day 7 - NYC

Today we went into New York City again, this time we aimed to spend a large part of the day in Central Park. We walked there via times Square where we found Hershey's world and M&M world, the latter being more impressive. M&M's world was a 3 story shop packed with M&M sweets and merchandise, Amy got lured into buying a bag of mixed M&M's which you got to dispense you're self, they had all different colours, way more than you get in your normal bag of M&M's. After this we headed up to central park, where we avoided the hundreds of people trying to sell us bike tours, horse and carridge rides etc. We walked round for a while then headed off to find a deli for some lunch. The deli's are great, they do all sorts of sandwich or roll and it's all freshly made, I went for a philli cheesesteak which was amazing.



After Lunch we proceeded along 5th avenue, looking in Abercrombie & Fitch amoungst other shops to avoid the rain. Abercrombie & Fitch felt more like a bar or night club than a shop, the music was so loud you could hardley talk above it, there were seating areas with coffee tables and leather sofas and every employee there seemed to be attractive (well the women at least, but Amy assures me the men were too). We then walked down to Madison Square Park which is in sight of the Flaitron Building, we finally returned to the Station where we managed to catch a train within a couple of seconds of the doors closing...which was then delayed about 15 minutes and the driver insisted on driving as slow as he could.
