Farewell to NYC

Saturday - our last day in town, we took it easy for a change. After having walked an average of 13 km (8 mi) per day for the last 13 days, our feet are hurting now and we are exhausted.

After a "late" breakfast we took the train to Midtown, first to mail stuff at the main post office (pic on the left),which is always not too easy and, pretty time-consuming in the U.S.A. Then we did some last-minute shopping and, on the way, we revisited a couple of "NYC staples", legendary sites, like the Empire State Building, the Madison Square Garden, Herald Square and Macy's (already with Christmas decoration).


We bought some provisions for our dinner with our friends that evening at Eataly - the Italian supermarket/Food Hall - and on the way, we admired closeby Calatrava's Oculus (pics below) again. On Union Square Market - another thing not to miss, especially on a Saturday - we bought bread and cider, and, were enviously checking out the variety of goods offered here.





Back to Heidi's and Tom's place in the late afternoon, by train. We had a very nice dinner with them and Curtis, a friend, including good conversation. Tired of cities, in general, now, but never getting tired of NYC!

Arrived the airport (Newark/EWR) in the meantime. It took us 2:10 hours from door to gate this time. Fortunately, Sundays are a good time to travel by public transport, less people, more space for luggage. Also, TSA Pre helps to get through security quicker. We left Harlem in the sunshine and have thick clouds in the meantime. Our plane to MUC seems to be on time, at least to date.
