Last Monday was President's Day, a bank holiday here in the US. The weather was incredible so we decided to head to Central Park again and explore a little more...

You see a lot of horse and carriages around the park. It seems like a nice idea, but it looks more romantic than the reality. Often we see large groups of protesters and animal rights groups kicking up a fuss about horses being in the city.

There are so many beautiful pavilions scattered about...

More entertainment...

On Sunday we took a walk around Union Square and down into the Village. This stall at Union Square sells incredible waffles!

We stopped for brunch in an area by NYU. They do cocktails with their breakfasts!

This place in the village has every type of coffee you can imagine...

and David's Tea has every type of tea you can imagine...

and now bread.....

...and cheese!!

We particularly love to explore Bleecker Street. They have lots of our favourite shops :-)

Last weekend we took a stroll down Fifth Avenue towards the FlatIron building

This store was giving away free roses after Valentine's Day!

One of our (OK, Sarah's) favourite places to go is a cupcake cafe called Crumbs. They sell huge cupcakes with lots of delicious icing...

Tom prefers the smoothies at Jamba Juice!
