Another bite of the Big Apple

Well,  here I am in NYC!


after our celebratory champagne and OJ in the Qantas club ( the OJ was a concession to the early morning!)

we boarded our flight and arrived pretty much on schedule yesterday evening, and it was a great reunion, and YES she was surprised! After our limo ride back to town, we checked into our apartment in the east village. It is really convenient as it is only 1 street away from my daughter's place.

The neighbourhood is very vibrant and there are places to eat everywhere, and all types of cuisine. We spent our first night having dinner with my daughter and her husband at their local Mexican place where we downed some jugs of sangria and some great tasting Mexican food.

Today we have explored Soho and bits of East Village. I think we walked over 7 km's today and we found my all time favourite food store Dean and De Luca on the corner of Broadway and Prince St. I had to introduce the junior Goddess to it, so we ventured in and came out with...
our dinner!

Yes, she bought the bag as well!

 We also found a cute little place in SoHo where we had lunch. They had a lovely courtyard and as it was a perfect day with not a cloud in the sky we decided to sit in the sun and get our body clocks on NYC time. 

I can recommend Pera, the food  and service was really excellent and they have a roof top bar open Thursday to Sunday. 

Tonight we are eating in with our goodies picked up from Dean and De Luca, so I'm off now to enjoy them.

thanks for reading.
