Went for a walk along the beach. Very overcast and started to rain as I came back.
Checked out and Uber back to Old San Juan as I have the day to kill before my flight to NYC. I really like OSJ and if I came again, would try to stay here. It's only about a $6 fare.
Coffee at a nice bar / restaurant and then did some walking. I covered most of it yesterday, so headed in a different direction today.
Creative Barista...
Lovely architecture...
Discovered the gate to Old San Juan and the Paseo which is a pathway. Found a nice place for lunch and sat at a table in the street listening to a local busker and eating a local dish, mofungo which was excellent. Plantains stuffed with steak.
Along the Paseo...
The harbour...
Walked around some more and then caught an Uber back to hotel to pick up bag and then to airport. Easy 3.5 hour flight to JFK. I quite like JetBlue.
Caught a shared Uber to Ace Hotel in Midtown. Had been recommended by a friend. Very trendy, dark and black. Great location right near 5th Ave, between Flatiron Building and Empire State.
There's a bar in the lobby which was packed and really noisy - made checking in challenging ! Room was spacious and nice and quiet, other than the sirens which you can't really get away from.
It was about 11pm by now, but I was very pumped to be in NYC, so I walked a couple of blocks north and bought a Philly Steak thing from a street vendor. It was good. It is very cold !
It's very easy to find your way around NYC due to the grid system. You just need to understand the numbering system ie Avenues run north / south and Streets run east / west.
Back to hotel and crashed.
Ribbit...
