Day Two - After lunch - Fifth Avenue

Hi there - Day two after lunch - was a wander up Fifth Ave after lunching in the Marriot Hotel overlooking Central Park and watching these beauties all queuing up to take people around the park.

 

$6 a minute = over $300 for an hour ride round -

which is how long they said a tour would take.

 That's why we walked around the park
 

The miniature sauce bottles brought with our lunch - how cute

After leaving the park and crossing W59th St to head up 5th Ave - you have the Plaza Hotel

and a real life NYPD car - oh wow how I loved that car.

(I used to watch NYPD blue on the telly)

We were in New York from the 1st December, hence the Christmas lights

 

 

Look at those for giant candy canes! (not the candy canes you could eat)

 

 

Tiffany & Co

 

 

 

Harry Winston Department Store

 

What's going on here??

 

 

Ahh they were opposite here as word had it -

HE was in there

 

 

We crossed the road and in we went

 

 

More press and media inside.

Your bags were x-rayed for anything suspicious you may have in them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All very garish, gaudy and over the top.

Out we came and carried on up Fifth Ave

 

 

Tommy Hilfiger

 

 

Cartier - This was my favourite

 

Saks Fifth Avenue Department Store

 

 

Entrance walkway to the Rockefeller Centre

 

 

Rockefeller Centre

 

 

Hiding in amongst the foliage was this little chap

 

 

Loved these tights

 

 

Window display

 

 

This owl opened her wings to reveal her babies

 

 

On down the road and round the corner, we came across this building which is used for basketball, ice hockey, pro wrestling, boxing, concerts and there is also a theatre.

On the day we were passing there was an ice hockey game going on, so in we went for a look around

 

 

 

 

This is a model of the arena - we didn't have tickets so couldn't go in

 

 

lots of security

 

 

 

New York Rangers were playing

 

 

We spotted this lovely church opposite

Madison Square Garden

 

 

On up the road and look what we could see - more about this another day!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for popping by
