New York ! New York

So.... since it was booked I was looking forward to it... the last time I visited New York it was cold, snowy and wintery... This time it was hot, green and most of all SUNNY !!!!

I love the Big Apple ! My second 'official' holiday, I've now done it in the height of the winter and summer months ! I definately feel like it will become an annual trip the amount I spent on clothes !

Apologies it has taken me until the end of August to actually put this up!

So... the City that never sleeps really is just that... Although we didn't have any big huge club nights the atmosphere in Manhattan is electric, no matter what time of day you are out and about.

We stayed in The Sofitel, New York it was a lovely hotel, quiet (which is really strange for NYC) but then literally 2 blocks away you were amoungst the crowds of Times Square.

The hotel's food was pretty pricey, and to be honest... if you go to New York... you kind of have to have pancakes for breakfast, atleast one day ? Right ? Or is that just me ? A few minutes walk away from our hotel was The Red Flame Diner which from the first day becamse our breakfast place for the rest of the trip!

The first thing I wanted was pancakes and syrup... mmmm pancakes ! Pancakes bacon scrambled egg and maple syrup.... it was like I had had gone back to ihop on the 192 in 2008! Yummy salty bacon with sweet maple syrup with creamy eggs and soft fluffy pancakes  ! AMAZING !  

Now obviously we ate more than just pancakes throughout this trip so I will be updating very soon with everything else which was consumed...
