It sure is a small world! Walking around on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street we suddenly bump into our neighbourgs from back home in Copenhagen! What a great surprise! Mette and Steen, and their three kids, are living and working in Chicago for half a year, and had gone to Manhatten for the Easter holidays. We went to have a coffee and it was great to hear their news. The reason why we went to 34th Street was to go up in the Empire State Building, but the queue was WAY too long. Instead we walked up to the Grand Central Station, to see the hall and some trains. Tue spotted the Oyster bar very quickly, and a visit has been scheduled for one of the coming days!
We then walked towards the Rockefeller Center as the queue was much shorter than at Empire State Building (yes, the Rockefeller is not as tall, but sure tall enough for us!). And you have a great view of the Empire State building from the Rockefeller tower. We had a little lunch at the Rockefeller Plaza where Sebastian took a great interest in the ice-skaters. Then a little shopping on Fifth Avenue (kids clothes and toys) before heading home for a nap. We went to Jackson Hole right across the street for a burger and are now fairly stuffed and ready for bed!
