Having sailed from the UK across the Atlantic on Queen Mary 2's Christmas and New Year cruise, our first port of call was New York.

With only a day 'in transit' before heading for the Caribbean my wife was on a mission and that mission involved a visit to Central Park in search of the memorial statue of a heroic sled dog called Balto.

We utilised the subway from close to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and made the most of our 'Day in New York'...






Tiffanys was, as always, well decorated...




Having enjoyed a coffee and pastry in the Waldorf's Crave Coffee Shop a kind passer-by took our picture with their tree...



Such a shame we were on a cruise ship. Such wonderful food on offer in Grand Central food courts....






I have written a full review of our day on my cruise blog....

We had a rather late lunch in the Oyster Bar and Restaurant at Grand Central Station...
