Wednesday 19th March
This morning we had a relaxed start, with pastries and drinks from downstairs – this was mainly because the Hilton has an annoying ‘resort credit’.You get charged $35 per day and then get a $35 per day food credit (and a $25 laundry credit) but the little café has some expensive prices! I was determined to use the credit though (and we knew about it in advance so it wasn’t a problem.)

We then walked to Hudson’s Yard to visit The Edge, which took us about 36 minutes to do the distance.
We had deliberately waited to book our tickets until we knew the weather forecast and we booked a flexible ticket so that we weren’t fixed to a particular timeslot.
We enjoyed the view and we got some nice photos, although I did not enjoy the glass floor. I don’t mind heights but I find the glass floors very uncomfortable!








We decided to get lunch from Shake Shack in Hudson’s Yard and then we had a little look around the shops, including Uniqlo where Rob got himself some colourful socks.


We walked around to look at The Vessel but didn’t pay to go ‘in’ and then we took a quick look at the Highline before walking towards Central Park.

We arrived in the park at about 1520 and we walked up to around 90th Street over a couple of hours.
The weather was fab, bright and sunny and we got some nice photos of the park, we hadn’t managed to walk this far in on previous visits as it had always been too cold.





We popped back to the hotel and decided on dinner at PizzArte which is about 1 street from the hotel.


We were provided some complimentary bread and olive oil to start.

Then I had a mocktail and a pasta dish, Rob obviously had pizza (I tried a little bit and it was very nice) and I think he had some form of beer/lager.



We obviously had to have desserts



Total cost including tip was $115.
