30 days and counting

30 days until we leave for New York! We’ve found out all sorts of interesting bits and pieces in our pre-trip research. e.g.

• helicopter tours are not that expensive
  
  
• lots of cool shops in Soho
  
  
• theres an algorithm to work out where a cross street intersects with an Avenue
  
  
• the average temperature is about 12C in November but has been as cold as -6C and as high as 28C
  
  
• it’s about 4.2kms from Washington Square Park to Central Park
  
  
• Tiffany’s is right under the Trump Tower
  
  
• you can pre-buy Empire State Building observation deck tickets online
  
  
• Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons are set up the night before in Central Park
  
  
• sunset will be around 4.35pm when we arrive and 4.29pm when we leave, 10 days later
