Outside Penn Station, near Macy's
A Manhattan Hotdog, New York, USA - 21st August 2011
It's the day after Phil and Tania's wedding, in the leafy burbs of New Jersey - the Garden State. Nosher, Sean, Hamish and Martin are hanging around in the morning waiting for the post-wedding Brunch, in between bouts of dropping people off at the nearby Summit Station, courtesy of Martin's hired V-6 Mustang convertible. Following the brunch, Martin drops Nosher off at the station, after which there's a train ride to Penn Station and a wander around Manhattan for a few hours. The only real mission is to eat a hotdog, which Nosher achieves at Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library, on 42nd Street. In fact two are eaten, as the mission was a request from Isobel, who had stayed over in Mallorca for an extra day and by this time was back home with The Boy: hers had to be eaten too, obviously. The wander ends when the skies open, and the canyons of Manhattan fill up with a wall of rain, reminiscent of the scene in "The Day After Tomorrow" when the wall of water sweeps in from the ocean.
