A Trip to New York, New York, USA - 11th March 1995

Nosher and Sean head over to New York to visit Phil, where we crash head-to-toe on the sofa in the tiny apartment on 13th and 3rd Avenue or thereabouts. Whilst there, we do several of the usual things, including a trip up the Empire State Building, exploring midtown, heading to the top of the World Trade Centre, the USS Intrepid, taking a boat trip out around Liberty Island and going roller-blading around Central Park and up to the edge of Harlem. But first, Wavy is hired to dig a drive out under the instruction of Danny Flint from a few doors down.
