So "up sticks" from Switzerland, we had a couple of weeks to kill prior to our commitments in the Cotswold's, so decided to annoy Patrick and have another bite of the "Big Apple" for a couple of weeks. Ooh la la...
Summer in New York can be HOT, HOT, HOT..., so riding the Staten Island ferry was one way of keeping cool. The fact that it is free and we hadn't had an income for 3 months wasn't lost on us either!
Patrick was keen to show us around his Golf Club http://www.manhattanwoodsgc.com so we couldn't disappoint. Golfing "Manhattan Woods" style is hard to beat, and I hope that it is not the last time we get the opportunity.
Two weeks in New York and you get to see a lot of "only in New York" scenarios.
A "foodie tour" of Chinatown was a great way to spend a couple of hours, and highly recommended. No better way for a foodie to enjoy what Manhattan has to offer...
In Chinatown, of course, you can buy anything, from Peking Duck...
...to dried sea cucumber...
....to Japanese abalone...
...or even Swallows nests!!
Next time we visit we will definitely take another of the tours.
