Tuesday, Our First Day in NYC

We are staying at The Muse hotel in Times Square, a vey nice hotel. Thankfully, they held our reservation since we never made it in on Monday. We have a suite on the 19th floor. Our view, though is only the buildings across the street. Views are hard to come by in NY. 

The first thing we did was take a nap. Boy were we tired. Afterwards, we set off walking toward Central Park, some 10 blocks away. At one corner we were accosted by a middle eastern bicycle cab driver who talked us into taking his cab on a tour of Central Park. But first he drove us to our restaurant for lunch. After lunch, we called him and he picked us up for the tour. He told us he left Turkey when he was 5, grew up in London, and has lived in the NY area for 20 years. Still, his accent was thick and we only caught parts of what he was saying. He was a funny guy, though, and we enjoyed the tour.
