135/365: At Grand Central Terminal.
After our late night out yesterday, we were late to start our second day. And that was a day amongst the Midtown masses. It’s just an incredible amount of people in that area. And it was once again an attack on our senses: the noise, the smell, the taste – and don’t even get me started on all the visual impressions. You probably could get exhausted just by standing at one corner of town and trying to take it all in. It’s quite overwhelming – in a good way.
So: we started our day at Grand Central Terminal. Walked around the Chrystler building, paid a visit to the NY Public Library, and went to Rockefeller Plaza. We originally wanted to go up to the Top of the Rock, but unfortunately had to postpone it, since it was booked out until 10:30pm that night when we got there at 6:30.
Instead we walked another few blocks to dine at probably the most hidden Burger Restaurant: Burger Joint. It’s tiny and it’s inside a fancy hotel, with no sign or advertising on the outside at all. And even when you’re inside the hotel you could easily miss it, if it wasn’t for the telling end of a queue in the corner of the lobby. Anyway: we had very delicious cheeseburgers in cozy, down-to-earth atmosphere. :-)
Then: Times Square. Tourists, billboards, musicals, selfies, costumes etc etc. The place for the wacky and tacky. Crazy!
And then it was time to get our tired bodies home again…
