Flag of United States  , New York,
Wednesday, September 9, 2009

Started off the day with an all american breakfast (everything came with fried potatoes), unlimited coffee refills - fab. Took the subway uptown to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Wow, what a place. We loved it and we only scratched the surface. Particularly liked the modern art (Hirst, Pollock) and the ancient Japanese silk prints. You could spend a week there and still not see everything. Great cafe too!
Jim has joined the local gym 'NYC Sports Club'. $20 for 2 wks. Guys in there were huge apparently. When Jim told the girl on reception he was a trainer, she looked at him as if to say 'Yeah right'.
Finished off the day at the Empire Diner on 10th. Moving into a studio apartment tomorrow further down the street. Weather forecast a bit ropey...hoping to catch a broadway show.

Home fries...
Sounds like Jim might need a workout after US cooked breakfasts :)

If you fancy a treat one night, this is the Mexican I mentioned - http://www.hellskitchen-nyc.com/

And the swanky hotel in the Meatpacking district with a good bar - http://www.hotelgansevoort.com/
