Times Square, Midtown and Hell’s Kitchen



Watching the forecast, we decided that with a few glimpses of sunlight through the clouds- we’d take a double decker bus tour. Another PATH experience- this time all the way to 34th—and a walk to Times Square. We got the front row seat on the bus—the only seats with a little protection from the wind and cold (fortunately, since we had left that morning without our jackets). Our guide was great—a real New Yorker – yelling at people on the sidewalks and full of NY stories.

After our tour, we walked down “Restaurant Row”—the row of restaurants catering to the pre-theater crowd. Their fixed-price lunches were a bit more than we were looking for, so we continued onto 9th Street to Hell’s Kitchen where we found a little sports bar.

We left the Brits after lunch giving them a chance to explore the city on their own. They got home hours later, having walked from Times Square to Grand Central Terminal and all the way back to Greenwich Village.
