Our plans were slightly dampened as we'd planned to wander around the northern tip of central park in the sunshine...but we ended up having a good day all the same.
We started off at The Museum of City of New York, with its wonderful exhibitions on the history of new york, the history of its name (which was of course bought over by the English), an excellent exhibition detailing the process of the 'Grid' system, the Steinman Dollhouse and a large group of photos showing the NYPD at its finest.
We then, walked fast, due to the hissing rain down Lexington in the 90's and grabbed some lunch from a lovely french restaurant. Ate and stayed there for a while, catching up on some emails and looking at some estate agents in the UK.
Continuing down Lexington, as we never really head to the upper East side, its awkward to get it on our subway lines, so there were a few places we hadn't yet got too.
Shakespeare books, and then Dylans Candy Bar...
Dylans candy bar isn't any ordinary sweet shop....the owners, was inspired to create the store, which is asserted to be the "largest unique candy store in the world", by the Roald Dahl story of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
The plan was to finish the day with a ballet class and jazz class, however after our 'fun-du', fondues were the last thing we felt like doing! We changed plans moved the classes to Sunday, and opposite bloomingdales, decided to browse, then head home and watch a movie, as it was still pouring with rain!
