230 Fifth

On the roof of a building near the Flat Iron one can find 230 Fifth, the same place I spotted in my previous post. This place is tricky on the wallet, you've gotta show up early if you want to get a seat, and as it gets later the view of the city makes it difficult not to stay and order another highly marked up drink. That's how over the course of 3 hours I spent 100 bucks on wine and a plate of fish and chips. The view and atmosphere here are well worth a visit, however next time I come here I'm bringing a flask along with me.

Empire State Building

Today was Empire State Building day, however before we could start on our tourist activities for the day, Mr J had to go pick up a cracked iphone he found on craigslist. We headed up to the diamond district on 47th street and while J met up with this shady phone/diamond dealer, I searched for some breakfast. I found a cheep Italian place called Nino's 46 one street down and sat down to order at the bar. My 8 dollar chicken parmesan sandwich was served up in about 5 minutes, allowing me to scarf it down and meet back up with Mr J right away.
