Day 14 Wednesday last full day
Got up early and headed to Grand
Central Terminal, got a round trip to Tarrytown on the Metro North
line for $18 each, the train was already there so we waited on it
unitl it left, it follwed the Hudson River all the way up so the
scenery was beautiful, I had made sure we sat on the correct side of
the train for the views, Tarrytown was a pretty little town, I loved
the houses with the big deep porches, we walked up Main street and
along North Broadway towards Sleepy Hollow, stopped at the
Phillisburg Manor gift shop to use the rest rooms and bought a
headless horseman Christmas Tree ornament. We had a walk around the
Cemetery and then walked back to Main Street, Tarrytown to Main
Street Pizza, had garlic knots and a lovely freshly made pizza
between us, then got the train back to Grand Central.
Tonight we had tickets to see Ben
Harper Acoustic at Carnegie Hall so we walked back from Grand Central
to the hotel to freshen up, then got the subway B train to 7th
Avenue nr 57th street, I wanted to walk from the venue to Central
Park so I knew roughly the distance back, then we could relax and sit
near Grand Army Plaza and the pond listening to some buskers until
time for the concert, Carl bought me a lovely Carnegie Hall silk
scarf. Ben Harper was sublime but there was zero leg room in the
balcony seats we had, don't know if other levels have better leg room
but it was very claustrophobic, we got our seats last minute on
StubHub so could not choose an aisle seat, I thought it would be
fine but the lack of leg room between rows was a struggle. There was
no interval for a stretch of legs either, we stayed for two and a
half hours and then left, no idea what time it finished. Walked back
to the hotel via Carnegie Deli for some Cheesecake for dessert, wow,
it was nicer than Juniors but they were both nice. Last thing before
bed was to completedthe online check in for our flights on the
Computer in the hotels lobby and printed off our boarding passes for
tomorrow.
