Day 3 - New York here we come

Just wanted to say sorry for the late post wifi at the holtel isnt free so had to wait to find some.
We got up nice and early and had breakfast, then headed for the park and ride place to get a bus into boston. We came very close to missing the bus but jumped on just in time and headed for Boston where we would get the bus to New York.
When we got to Boston we found where the new york bus would come in, there was already a line and it seemed there where quite a few people who had not been able to get on the last bus, it seems they had over book. But we just made it on the bus we should have got on so all was ok. Would you belive it only cost $14 per person to go from boston to new york! It cost more to go from the park and ride to Boston it was crazzy how cheap it was, the bus was even really nice, lots of leg room, leather seats, and the coolest i have ever seen on a bus...the bus head WIFI!! it made the 4 hour trip go by so so quickly.
Well we made it in one peace to New York, got off the bus and straight into a taxi to take us to the hotel, where we checked in and relaxed for a while. A friend of my grandmas then met us at the hotel, she was going to take us out on the town and take us to eat etc. (she had lived in new york all her life and knew all the best places) We had dinnar at a amazing pizza place, she then told us about a place she really wanted to have taken us to dinnar at a place called Rao's, but basicly unless you 'know the right people' there is no way in hell you get in. Its the kind of place where you dont order they tell you want your going to eat.
So after dinnar we stopped in at a icecream place, this was the first time and im sure not the last time that the person serving could not at all understand what i was saying. I had to say it about 5 times before they understood and all i was asking was for some dark chocolate icecream.
It was starting to get on into the evening now so we headed for the clubs. We stopped at the Blue Note jazz club which was very cool but ended up spending most of the night at 'the bitter end' which was having a open mic night. There where some very amazing song writers and singers who you never know may soon become very famous.
As the night moved on we decided to head back to the hotel and crash out to be early again the next morning....
