My Feet Hurt

Yesterday we did the International tour of NYC: Chinatown, Little Italy and, if you've seen my Facebook photo, various set locations from Flight of the Conchords including their apartment, the New Zealand Consulate and Dave's Pawn Shop! For lunch we had the famous New York style 18" pizza from Lombardi's in Little Italy.

We made our way over to Brooklyn to visit the Superhero Supply store, as well as a Kiwi-owned restaurant called Kiwiana. Mat got his first flat white in two weeks (I wanted some L&P but they didn't have any) and we each ordered a pavlova. Ah the taste of home.

Today we wandered around Central Park. It reminds me of the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, being quite an expansive area in such a busy city. It's nice and relaxing, and there's plenty of places to just chill out and doze off in the sun. Unfortunately for a tourist, time is of the essence and we had to power through all the landmarks we could - hence the title of this post. We covered the zoo (Red pandas! Penguins! Seals! Snow leopard! Polar bear!), the Turtle Pond, Belvedere Castle, Strawberry Fields and the Conservatory Garden before heading back to the hotel for a breather.

Another full day tomorrow... phew!
