Day 113: New York City
September 16: Spent the morning rushing around, including picking up a new suitcase to replace the one British Airways damaged.
Then did a TV & Movie Location (bus) Tour. For three hours, we drove around Manhattan seeing the sights of various movie scene locations, as well as buildings where famous TV shows were set. We saw the soup kitchen from Seinfeld, went passed famous places like Central Park, Plaza Hotel, other hotels, Tiffanys, various shops and restaurants in Soho, Tribeca and the village, saw the restaurant used in Big Daddy where Adam Sandler and the boy decide to take a leak, and saw the residentail buildings used for Friends, the Cosby Show and more. Coincidentally, we also saw David Schwimmer (who plays Ross on Friends) walking down the street in Soho... major celebrity sighting!
Did a little more window shopping in the afternoon, and then saw "The Lion King" musical in the evening. Even though I'd seen it before, I was able to get a $40 ticket and thought it would be nice to see it again.
PS. Saw that the Sydney Swans won the preliminary final and are now into the AFL Grand Final next week - Yippee!!!! Well done to them, and to all my fellow Swans suppoters, please cheer them onto victory on behalf of me, as well as you. Thank you. (I will be in England next week, so hopefully I will be able to find an Aussie pub somewhere that will be broadcasting it!)
