First Day...

Today we met my old friend from Paramount Bar - Sarah, who's been a New Yorker the past few years. We had the best breakfast fit for a king - Bacon, cheddar cheese & Broccoli Omelette with a side of roast veg and potatoes... Increeeeedible! Always know a place has great food when nobody has time to talk as they are smashing into a fine bit of grub!

So the day started brilliantly... Sarah left for work and Willie and I had to crack on with our one and only job of the day - pay the $1000 deposit for our new flat in Queens. If only it was as nice and as simple as that. Firstly, the subway line to our part of Queens was closed, so we had to make a diversion, which made us late for our 1pm meet with the landlord. It was absolutely peeing it down and we needed to withdraw our half of the deposit from the cash machine... Willie gets his half with no bother, however no such luck with me. It exceeded the daily withdraw limit...  With the stress of being over 40 minutes late, soaked from head to toe, no access to money and in a completely new area... we were having an absolute nightmare. Back to the hostel to get more money, then repeat the journey back to Queens to pay up. Safe to say we were ready to get tucked in to a few drinks.

Plus side of the ordeal however, was spending a lot of time in this wee station...
