We only had a little sleep before we hit the streets of New York City. We didn’t want to waste any time while we were here, because we only had a few days. We made our way to Times Square, which we made sure that one of the small New York hotels was close to. We met up with an old friend of ours, Mark, and we all headed to our TV and Movie Sites Tour.

The tour started at 11am, so we stopped off for a quick breakfast, before we boarded a bus. On the tour, we saw The Flatiron Building that seems to be in every shot of any movie or TV show that’s filmed here, the Library  and later the Firehouse from ‘Ghostbusters’, the house from ‘I Am Legend’, the hotel of ‘Gossip Girl’, from ‘Coyote Ugly’ we saw The Bowery Ballroom, from the movie ‘Men in Black II’ we saw Bens Pizza, which is also where the tour stopped for lunch. The place where Adam Sandler peed on in the movie ‘Big Daddy’, the law courts from ‘Law and Order’, the house from the ‘Crosby Show’, the restaurant where Jerry Seinfeld ate and finally the ‘Friends’ apartment.

After the tour, we all commented on how this was a great way to experience New York. Mark had other obligations, so we bid him farewell and we headed to Grand Central Station. The building is spectacular and huge! When we came back outside, it was raining, but the rain didn’t last long, so we made our way up the street to Tiffany & Co on Fifth Avenue. We only window shopped like in the movie ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’, hey! way wasn’t this on the tour? I guess if every movie and TV made in New York was on the tour, it would last a week!

Tomorrow, we plan to see the Dakota Hotel, and tonight look up on the Internet where there might be other points of interest.
