Busy one today guys......
Top of the rock was awesome, stunning views and no crowds as we hit it real early, was in line by 07.40 for a 8.00am opening.
Whilst sorting our tickets for top of the rock we were also able to book onto the 10am Rockefeller Center tour.
We are using New York City Pass which pre pays for attractions upfront, and saves money on i
the gate prices, there are several of these prepaid tickets available but after research this one suited us best. Basically you rock up to the attention you want, flash your pass and get your attraction tickets.
Both the trip to the top and the tour were both available on our pass.
We had some time to kill before the tour which was great opportunity for breakfast, 2 sausage egg and cheese muffins for 4 bucks was just what was need.
The tour was awesome and I would highly recommend it. We had a good knowledgeable guide AND andwere both intrigued to learn about the center. If Mr Rockefeller were still around today his wealth (in today's money) would be more than Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates combined.
After the Rockefeller we decided to make the most of the sunshine so we mage or our wup 5th and hit up central park. We spend a good few hours here and walked from the south end all the way up to north end and beck again, not to mention the numerous times we got lost. All in all we did a good miles around the parkand didn't even scratch the surface, central park is a massive 2.5 miles long by a half mile wide .
We did take a detour away from the park for lunch. Whilst doing my research I found an old style luncheonette on upper East side which had hardly changed since the 1940s, a really step back in time with good food to boot. A little pricey but worth a visit for there award winning homemade lemonade.

After the park we made our way back to the room via Broadway. All in all we've covered nearly 20 miles today and both our feet are aching but a good day has been had all round.
Time for some down time before hitting a bar and maybe the Empire State Building (also on the pass) to get some night views of this amazing city.
Will sort some photos later, but for now both me and my phone are in need of a recharge.
