Day 38: New York City
July 3: Making the most of the my last full day in the USA...
Went to the Jewish Museum on 92nd/5th Ave and saw some exhibitions about salons and Maurice Sendak, as well as the standard Jewish History and traditions stuff... like at the Sydney one.
Went for a stroll down to the Guggenheim Museum but didn't go in as I've been there before, then had a brief walk along the reservoir at Central Park.
Headed further down town to do a tour of NBC - saw the sets of Late Show with Conan O'Brien, Saturday Night Live, Nightly News and more. I even got to be a weather girl for some fun!
Walked around Grand Central Station and the base of the Chrysler Building before heading across town to Madame Tussaud. Lots of wax statues of famous people - too many to name, but lots of fun posing with them.
Met up with Morris and walked down town to the Post Office, Madison Square Garden, Chelsea, Washington Mews, Washington Square Park and Arch, Greenwich Village, Soho, Tribeca, Chinatown and more. Relaxing evening, very pleasant weather.
Had a late night meal at the famous (open 24hr) Chinese restaurant "Wo Hop", before heading home.
