Brooklyn Bridge |
We couldn't have wished for better weather, boy we were so lucky!
We walked across the bridge and then got a cab to Williamsburg to Wythe Hotel for a drink on their roof top terrace.
ABC Kitchen - super trendy buzzy place near Union Square

We didn't get a table as we hadn't pre-booked, but we happily sat in the bar |

You never tire of strolling around soaking up the atmosphere |

Fresh food from the local store on Madison Avenue |

Romance was in the air just like last time we went to New York. It does wonders for any couple to be child free for a few days ;-) |

Our art deco bathroom which reminded me a lot about the bathrooms in Claridge's. |

I might be holding a Pellegrino but sparkling water was certainly not my main drink over there lol |
