Day one was utterly knackering. We finally arrived after being awake for what seemed like three days- not sleeping before the flight did not help and combined with not a wink on the flight itself, we were all hungry and tired. However we powered through and made the most of the remainder of the day.

After dumping our bags in our rooms at the hotel, we set off exploring the city. We headed to Maddison Square Gardens and after grabbing some food, we visited the empire state and Rockefellar tower. For $49 it was tempting to give it a miss but I’m so glad we did it. The sunset was incredible and the view was even better than i’d imagined it to be!
