Busy last days....

With Jane and I BOTH leaving New York the next day, we decided to make the most of our last full day here.

We went shopping in Soho for some last minute purchases for Jane. Then escaped the sunshowers to 23rd on the east side to check out the famous Flatiron Building and Bryant Park.

Continued up Manhattan Island to see Grand Central Station which such a beautiful piece of architecture. The Chrysler building on our left side, we continued down to 42nd and 1st Ave to see the United Nations building on the river. Not as impressive as portrayed in movies like the Interpreter, but I think it is more about the ideals that the building stands for. No deligate spotting this time around.

Then we hopped on yet another subway to the upper east side to the BEST cupcake place I have discovered (thanks to Lauren!) since being here. Magnolia? Two Little Red Hens leaves it at the start line. We enjoyed red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting mmmmmmmmm delish!

On our way home we overheard the New York Philharmonic were playing a free summer show in Central Park, so a quick detour and we were under the setting sun chilling out in the great lawn listening to some great music.

What a day!
