🍎 BIG APPLE…. Day 2!
What we thought was an early start clearly wasn’t early enough 🙈 We headed to DUMBO, Brooklyn, super Insta-famous now, so by 8.30am there were already crowds queuing for that shot.
Tip: go before 8am if you want it quiet. We still managed some lovely pics though! (and thankfully for an app, I’ve managed to erase all the people off my picture!)
The boys had pancakes on their mind, so we went to at the Such a cool breakfast spot with unreal views of Manhattan Bridge right outside.
We checked out the kids’ play area at Brooklyn Bridge Park and grabbed some more money shots. Honestly, the vibe around that area is amazing, so up and coming and really family friendly. I loved it there.
Then came the big walk over Brooklyn Bridge
I advise going from Brooklyn into Manhattan. I think it’s the best way because you get those epic skyline views the whole way across. The boys smashed it in the heat (little legs, big bridge 👏).
I’d pre-booked Hugh Jackman’s From New York With Love at Radio City Hall. What a show! The theatre itself is incredible and … absolute showman 👌 The boys loved it too! They knew all The Greatest Showman songs 🫶
To top it off, we went full musical theatre vibes at diner. 🎶🍔
Aspiring Broadway stars serving you and singing, classic diner food, amazing atmosphere the perfect end to a big day.
Waked the 30 mins back to the hotel to walk off our food, and see the NYC streets!
Jet lag was still hanging around so an early night for us 😴
