Today is our Silver Wedding Anniversary, we're going to start it with a walk in Central Park. A slow stroll up 9th avenue brings us to the Columbus Statue and the start of Central Park, it is enormous. We meander around the park, watching the New Yorkers go about their normal day, jogging, walking their children and dogs in the park or just enjoying the October sunshine. We pause at the boathouse restaurant for coffee, fascinated by the elaborate preparations for lunch.
On our way back to the apartment we take a detour to see the Dakota Building where John Lennon was shot before making our way back to the apartment. But not before Rob and Tom have bought a huge McDonald's for lunch, Dave and I settle for a chicken donner from a street stall.
All the boys are going to meet Martin to watch the Arsenal game in a local bar. I opt to stay in the apartment chilling out and sunbathing!! After a successful game (Arsenal won 5-1) Dave decides I'm banned from future games as the last one I saw they lost!

As tonight is our anniversary we're going out for a posh meal, after a couple of drinks we set off and meander towards Central Park. We find a great New York Steakhouse, Uncle Jack's. The atmosphere of the place is great and the food even better. The dry humour of the waiter persuades all the boys to have dessert, a great decision, as I get to try them all!!
