Mid Day Report 

Standard

Already at 16,059 step (7.32miles)!! We started our morning at Ashley’s fine Food. A small corner store with great bagels and big breakfast food selections! I ordered an egg bagel with cream cheese. It was excellent! Not too chewy, but nicely toasted and loaded with cream cheese. We decided to eat in Rock Center which was nice a warm in the sun. 

  
    After breakfast we walked over to the Danes hotel and met up with all of them! We wandered through Central Park and watched some street performers for a while. They were very funny and did a cool trick where a member did a back flip over a line of people. We took pictures next to the famous fountain and visited Strawberry Feilds and the Dakota building where John Lenon was shot.  


  After Central Park we wandered up to my favorite fast food place Shake Shack. If your in New York City I HIGHLY recommend their burgers and custard. I got a single shack burger, crinkle fries, and a shacky road custard.  


  After a yummy and filling lunch we headed down Columbus Ave with Mormor and did some shopping. We showed her Lincoln Center and inside the opera house. 

   
     
We hopped on the subway and headed to Rockeller Center. We showered Mor the American Girl Place because they have great  bathrooms and it’s a cute unique store. We shared a iconic NYC pretzel and enjoyed Rock center.  

  
  





 
  We walked Mormor back to her hotel and stopped by Carnegie to see the poster for tonight’s show! Now we are chilling in the hotel before heading to dinner at Fig & Olive before enjoying the performance at 8:30pm. I will post about that either tonight or tomorrow on the train to DC. Talk to you later 🙂    

   

Staying in style – Hotel Cellai

Standard

I just realized that I never posted any pictures of my hotel. Hotel Cellai is a beautiful four star hotel a block from the Hot Independica and 3 blocks from San Marco’s Piatza where you go to get to the Academia and see The David. The walk to the Duomo is about 10 minutes, but it can easily be viewed on the hotels food garden. It was free wifi, pretty good wifi too, in the rooms and the rooms are great! Larger than a typical European hotel room and decorated with antique looking furniture.

Are hotel is also a cool place to explore. It has about 9 different rooms where you can sit and enjoy comfy chairs and between 5-7pm complementary coffee, tea, and tea cakes. Also 24/7 there are apples left on a table in the lobby for guest to take. (Taylor and I have eaten our fair share of those) as I mentioned in a previous post the breakfasts are also amazing. A large warm and cold spread with everything ranging from fruit to pastries to scrambled eggs.

We will be sad to leave our hotel at 7am tomorrow to head to the airport! We have had a wonderful stay! Now we are heading to breakfast and then to the Duomo! Hope it’s a great last day!
