Persian Day Parade, Upper East Side and Midtown, New York, US - 25th March 2007
It's the first whole day in Manhattan, and Nosher and Isobel wander down from their Upper East Side base at the Courtyard Marriott on 92nd and 1st - paid for mostly by accumulated loyalty points - through Central Park and happen upon a Persian Day parade on Madison Avenue in Midtown. After that, we walk around some more and end up eating pizza somewhere on Second Avenue. The next day we wander around a bit of midtown around 5th Avenue and around Grand Central, plus Isobel gets a bit of free make-up treatment in Macy's department store.
