New York New York

So we're back from New York, with a selection of the sights and sounds (well one sound at least) from the streets of Manhattan.

...and Brooklyn.

I'll tell some of our stories and post some of the other pics soon, such as Sunday lunch:

...and of other delicious appetizers.

I'll explain why Xfe was constantly looking up*:

and when he did, how he came to find "London".

As for myself, I found the Big Apple a lot less rotten than I did on my first visit some 20 years ago.

Statues, art, graffiti... and Harlem

Here is the view of the super-busy Times Square as seen from our hotel room. Super-busy that is until Xfe chooses to frighten everyone away with his anti-social cellphone habit.

As for that sound-I don't think it originates from NYC, but that's where we heard it, while shopping in a fashionable Soho boot-ique (aren't they all).



*he was of course constantly looking up to see Manhattan's big erections:

As for this Soho street scene - well, that's what puts the sex in the city, making New York so fabulous!

Well Miss GG, Xfe wanted to leave a tribute to MJ and I fancied some fried chicken and a malt beer.
