And so it begins..

Tuesday 8th Oct, I get on the subway all the way to JFK to make my very first chauffeur pickup at the international airport! That's right my lovely co-traveller Stacey Coppack aka scoppack has ARRIVED. After a 13 hr flight to Dubai then a 12 hr flight to NYC she has made it and is feeling alive and ready to pound the concrete jungle, music to any tour guides ears! (that's me)

So I give her the rejuvenation kit I have made consisting of baby carrots, red bull, water and sea salt Lindt dark chocolate, they don't call me a superstar for nothing know what I'm sayin.

So we're staying on the upper west side and we mosie down broadway making hard core life decisions such as where are we going to go for scoppacks first NYC meal and then after seeing Lincoln centre on 60th & Amsterdam it hits my favourite place to eat the hideaway! (Check previous posts for their awesomeness) so we head down to TriBeCa and get us some grub.

One of the things I love most about Stacey is that she just tells it like it is. So when she receives her first American meal, a burger and fries and a deliciously potent cocktail she recites "I think America and I are going to be very happy together" one of my favourite quotes thus far.

I ordered something new on the menu, a fried chicken and buttermilk biscuit sandwich I literally cannot verbalise how delicious it was! Hats off to the lovely chef Nicole if I could take you back to oz if I could!

So then once we're fully nourished and a little bit lubricated I take Stacey to the mecca of NY tourism Times Square The best time is at night when the lights are luminous and you could almost have a seizure. Then it was time to hit the hay as the next few days were choc a bloc full of fun, super organised fun haha.
