Broadway!!!!

We've decided today that we're going to Sunday brunch at 230 5th, so we set off to walk down Broadway to reach it. It's been one of my ambitions to say I've walked down Broadway, if only I'd known how far....I'd have limited the goal!!

We pass Times Square, Madison gardens, Empire State Building, Union Square, Grace Church and wander into Levis, American Apparel, Hollister to name a few. Shopping on the whole very enjoyable, if only they could turn the music down and the lights up in some of them it'd be fine (am I showing my age a tad...)! We reach the brunch stop, an amazing roof garden terrace with great views of the Empire State Building. The brunch was no less spectacular and the sunshine hot like a summers day.

Now I don't know who had the idea to walk to Ground Zero, it seemed a great idea at the time but we can all only say, it's a very long way. We did reach it, awed by the size of the site and the enormity of what happened here. The emerging memorial garden will surely be a great tribute to all and the world changing events, two huge square waterfalls, disappearing into the earth. We taxied back to the apartment, flopped on the sofa, footsore and exhausted, it took several hours before we were ready to set out looking for an Italian meal, we found one in Hell's Kitchen, were we the only family there tonight, quite possibly!!!
