Start spreading the news

We're leaving today. New York. The city that never sleeps. This was the destination of our first USA adventure - not counting the glorious stop over in the Air NZ transfer terminal in LAX.
We had popped over the pond to welcome in my 29th birthday. As with the UK, NYC was cold at this time of the year, but we did not let this ruin or mission.
We checked into the aptly named Wellington hotel, located on 7th ave and close to all the sites we wanted to see.
NYC is amazing! Everything is big, in the way that you'd expect American things to be. The buildings are amazing and grand. They make you feel so very small. We took in a view from the 'top of the rock', a viewing platform at the top of the Rockefeller Centre. Needless to say, the view was breathtaking.
We also sussed out Times Square, caught the Staten Island ferry to see lady liberty, strolled central park, and most importantly, ate a hotdog from a street hotdog vendor.
We by no means have seen and done everything this amazing city has to offer, and feel another trip will be scheduled for round two.
Needless to say, New York is truly a must see place.
