If the weather is good, get on the train/metro/subway (not sure which it was) to Coney Island and have a wonder along the beach with a hot dog. Last time we went was in Navy week……didn’t plan it but a load of Chinooks and Apaches landed on the beach, marine piled out, just to say hello to people and say thanks for their support.
Lots of random stuff just wondering around. We went into a deli up towards Time Square off a side road…..turned out it was just round the corner from one of the studios so all the famous people came in and the deli had it’s own 5min segment on one of the prime time shows where they interviewed the famous one……..nice sandwiches too.
Both of these things happened with zero planning on our half!
