Very lucky I was to bag a day’s work in NYC.
And discover a different part of the city . . .
Columbus Circle
Named for Christopher Columbus, this busy intersection is where
Eighth Avenue, Broadway, and West 59th Street and the southwest corner of
Central Park all meet.
A blur of yellow creates a halo around the statue of
Columbus as taxis encircle it.
It is the point from which all official distances from New
York City are measured.
After the day's work (exciting and exhausting) I checked out of the eye wateringly pricey hotel and
scuttled across to Lexington Avenue for my second night at the reasonably price
and friendly Shelburne at 303 Lexington
This hotel is in the shadow of the glittering Chrysler
Building, Yummy Deco.
Breakfast in Bloom’s (350 Lexington) an old-school deli serving up
traditional Jewish-American comfort eats - great eggs over easy.
The balance of the day was spent in Bryant Park a favourite
place and known as Manhattan's town square.
