I returned from New York City two weeks ago and have had time to reflect on my eight-day stay. For a 70-year-old male travelling alone, a big city can be a lonely place.
Not New York though.
I wanted to say a thank you for making my stay a most enjoyable one.
Thanks to the members of Wired New York who gave me good advice before my holiday started.
Thanks to.
The guy in Dyckman Street, for the chat and help with directions.
The two ladies, who gave me directions (in Spanish) to the 1 train, in Washington Heights.
The gentleman who lives in the Apthorp Building who offered to take my photograph at the First Baptist Church on Broadway and engaged me in an interesting conversation about NY.
The young woman, who offered to take my photograph in Times Square.
The elderly gentleman from 43rd. St. for the interesting chat while we both sat resting in Bryant Park.
The School Crossing lady, who offered to take my photograph at the Tiles for America site on Greenwich Avenue, and gave me directions to the Firestore on the same street.
The guy from Brooklyn, for the history lesson, in City Hall Park.
The Polish waitress in the Manhattan Diner for being so kind.
To Pepe, in McSorely,s Ale House, for the Postcards and leaflets, and the information about a book I should get.
The regulars in McSoreley’s for taking the photographs.
And all the reception staff at the Beacon Hotel, they really are a great group of people.
These are the things that make you love New York City.
Any other Holidaymakers views.
