Last night Mark and I attended a great concert at the famous Beacon Theatre. Nick Mason (Drummer - Pink Floyd) and band performed a concert of early Pink Floyd hits. The show was titled Nick Mason and the Saucerful of Secrets and it was fantastic. We had seen it advertised in Australia and the cheapest tickets were in excess of $100.
Yesterday Mark continually monitored availability and prices online and eventually picked up two great tickets for around $40 total for two tickets.
We decided today was shopping day and travelled down to Macys on Broadway - the world's largest store - it takes up a whole city block and many floors.
One thing we noticed straight away - it is much quieter in NYC on the weekend - it is actually quite pleasant to stroll around streets with far fewer pedestrians and streets without cars. After a few hours of looking and shopping we returned to the Salisbury to rest the aching feet. Having rested a bit I took a subway to photograph the famous Flatiron building in here in NYC. Didn't get to see it on previous visits and it is such an iconic building I'm glad I made the effort.
This evening we had dinner in a Cuban eatery called Sophie's kitchen. The food was fantastic and relatively cheap and as always in the US, far too much for me. Now we are hoping for the rain to clear up so that we can visit Brooklyn and walk back over the Brooklyn Bridge - fingers crossed.
