We started off by heading to Coney Island - in the rain. Not to worry though, as Brits we are used to heading to the seaside while it is dismal.
Nathan's Hotdogs were the first port of call, before we were to head over to Luna Park. After only an hour or so, we got told the park was closing due to the weather. Thinking we would only get the remaining total of our tokens refunded, we did in fact get all our money back. A free mornings worth of entertainment certainly made up for me missing all the plates on the plate smash.
After Coney, we headed to Brooklyn Bridge. From our steady wander over the New York masterpiece, we dropped into the original Grimaldi's, for a Sinatra endorsed full pie of pizza.
Not wanting to end our day there, we walked over to Brooklyn harbour for some ice cream from Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. Originally we were going to walk back over the bridge, but I decided we should make the most of our location and made us all hop on a ferry. Riding up the east river, I gave them both a distinctly below average description of the various sites.
After arriving at 34st and 1st, we walked through Midtown to Madison Square Park, where I showed them the Flatiron Building and the delicious wonders of Eataly.
Dragging the day out slightly further, we got of at Hoboken path station and walked along Jersey Shore back into Newport.
A splendid finish, to a fantastic week with the Sis and her significant other.
