We slept in Saturday morning. Edgar the owner of the apartment lives underneath us, so he came up and made sure we were comfortable. He oriented us to the local area (Astoria).
Brunch was at a local cafe on 30th st, about a 10min walk from where we are staying; it's like Brunswick.
After brunch we headed to the train station, 30th Grand, and organised our tickets for the next week.
What better way to start in New York then to go to Times Square. What a great place to be introduced to NY. People everywhere. Characters everywhere!
After wandering around for a couple of hours, we jumped on on open top double decker bus and toured around Lower Manhatten. It was such a great day, no clouds, sunny and about 26c. Fantastic way to just kick back and relax and take in the sights and history. We are going to do the same thing today (Sunday) for Upper Manhatten.
After the tour we just wandered around Manhatten in early twilight before heading back to Queens. Dinner was in a great restraunt in the next suburb. We wandered home out about 11pm.
