This morning is gorgeous and sunny again. We west off walking up to Central Park. It's very big and I keep loosing my bearings (that's different from loosing my marbles!).
We spent most of the afternoon in the Natural History Museum. I had been told that you can ask for a reduced price ticket. Normal ticket entry price starts at 22 dollars each but I managed to get in for 10 dollars each. I know I must be a cheapskate but I justified it because Americans can go into our big museums for free! Everything so expensive here it's nice to get something cheap. The museum is vast and well displayed. We mainly looked at stuffed animals and dinosaurs bones.
This was one of the displays, not the remains of John's last order of barbecue ribs!
Rebekah had contacted an American friend she had met in Manchester (a friend of a boy who was a flatmate when she was at Uni). He was called Jonathan and he worked for a music management company in New York. He is involved in managing bands like Walk the Moon, Ray LaMontagne and Passion Pit. He suggested meeting up in a bar on East Side called Top Hops. It was a nice bar with hundreds of different beers. He was really friendly and interesting. It was great to meet him. He was going on to see a concert of some up and coming artist so he left and we went to eat.
We went to a diner called Katz that was nearby. It just happened to be the place they filmed a famous 'yes, yes, yes' scene in When Harry met Sally! I had my first burger and fries of the holiday. Becka had the best ever hot pastrami sandwich I have ever tasted. Not much sandwich and an awful lot of pastrami that was soooo.. tender.
Back to the hotel, very tired after another great day.
