Manhattan to Sag Harbour
Before setting off for Long Island we walked up to Rockefeller Centre. We walked through the NBC building – now the Comcast Building – to the Plaza. The building was as beautiful as ever but unfortunately the Plaza was closed off because they were shooting a movie. Not that we saw any action but we weren’t able to take the iconic photo of Prometheus with building behind. We did manage to get a shot of Atlas in front of the International building where the BBC offices used to be. We walked on up to the corner of Central Park and the Apple store. We had a coffee and croissant at Le Bilboquet on 60th street before getting our Apple fix.
We took a yellow cab back to the hotel. Check out and departure was very smooth and we headed out along 42nd street past Grand Central station to the Midtown Tunnel. We stopped for a delicious lunch in Patchogue at an unassuming little place called South Ocean Grill. I had a wonderful shrimp risotto with scallops, Jinnie had pasta and Georgie a chicken sandwich. All very good.
We got to the Sag Harbor Inn just before 4pm. It’s just the kind of place we wanted for a few days relaxation to finish off our trip. I went for a swim in the pool before we all set off for an early supper at the Bell and Anchor.
