Scot Free III - Manhattan once more.

Manhattan once more.

Scot Free III

Tue 7 Aug 2018 11:00

A later start today and a change of plan. Had intended to go on a The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island tour, had even booked tickets but were bumped off as oversubscribed and ours were cheap tickets. Am I being cynical?Visited Chelsea Market for lunch instead. It’s a 120 year old food hall in The Meatpacking district with a huge variety of vendors. It was heaving..

Spoilt for choice but chose Vietnamese for a change, very tasty.
