I had a full day free and was based near Grand Central so headed out to some of the mid town sights.

Radio city. |
I had organised a tour about Manhattan architecture and art. It was weird. It was supposed to be great for bad weather as it looked at some of the underground parts, but we wondered seemingly randomly about and even in a few cases into some ones office. And were told to leave. Really awkward.
Some of the art was cool.

Atlas outside Saint Patricks. |
Last time I was in the city, Saint Patricks was under scaffolding so it was really nice to actually see it.

Pretty. |
The end of the tour required me to walk through the Trump tower. I felt sick and needed a shower! Though I did appreciate the couple of guys selling anti-trump badges right outside.
After the tour I grabbed some lunch from a food cart and headed into Central Park to chill out. Turns out the weather was pretty nice.

I had to move hotels on the Monday so after lunch headed back and moved to the new hotel but wondering out to Grand Central. I do love this train station. And more importantly I found the market again and stocked up on loose leaf teas. I got a load last time and was sad when they ran out.

The meetings were in the RELX New York offices which go over a road so the views from the windows were very cool.
I spend the rest of the week on work things but did enjoy a few very nice meals (a lovely chinese and a seafood night with oysters and ceviche) and spend a couple of evenings in the gay piano bar over the road from my hotel.
