After seeing Jersey Boys on Broadway we went to dinner at the Olive Grove, an Italian restaurant about 2 blocks away.
They serve the most delicious cocktails - this was called a 'Mango & Passionfruit' daiquiri.
Very potent, and as you can see by the comparison with the glass of water, not small!! (Note - I only had one)
After dinner we walked the length of Broadway (almost) - what a fantastic sight - so much to see - there were as you can guess so many lights and billboards, also many street vendors and entertainers.
Very, very vibrant atmosphere. Loved everything about it.
Unfortunately I had a photo of me with Elmo but it didn't come out very well - flash wasn't turned on (duh!!)
The next day we went on a walking tour of the 'garment district' of New York.
Fascinating stuff - there is this magnificent bronze sculpture of a man at an old treadle sewing machine and also along one footpath many plaques denoting the various designers that have worked in the area.
We were lucky to be able to go into some warehouses and purchase material off the shelves (mainly dressmaking stuff etc).
