New York Day 3

We walked from our apartment on W 89th Street to W 42nd Street to check out Times Square.  There were tons of tourists there, which made us appreciate where were staying on the Upper West Side, where it was just a regular neighbourhood which was exactly the type of vacation we were wanting while in New York.
We went into the Hershey's store, where they had this huge syrup bottle . . . which was a money bank.
And they had these HUGE Peanut Butter Cups.  One cup would have been a meal in and of itself!
We hung out for a while at the "Top of the Rock" at the Rockefeller Center.  We loved the views, and some nice Aussies took our picture with the Empire State Building in the background.
We went into Tiffanys.  Dressed like tourists and looking like we weren't going to be buying anything, the staff were still welcoming.  We checked out all four floors - one floor was just engagement and wedding rings, and another floor was wedding china etc - and it was ALL VERY expensive!  Nice to visit though :)
Central Park!  We were staying to the left of the bigger piece of water towards the rear of the photo, just a couple blocks over.
The NBC studios were also a part of the Rockefeller Center, which took up a couple of blocks.
Trump Tower.  We went in here to rest our tired legs and cool down in their air conditioning for a bit.  Very conveniently there was a Starbucks in there, so we were able to check e-mail too.
