We've been keen to visit other boroughs in New York so we set off around 9.30am and caught the metro to Brooklyn. We got off at an area known as DUMBO and walked around the parks before getting onto the Brooklyn Bridge and walking across it into Manhattan. The view was quite spectacular and it was a nice change of scenery walking on a bridge rather than walking among concrete skyscrapers. Then we headed to lunch at Balthazar's which Nugen recommended. It was a Parisian style restaurant with things on the menu we couldn't pronounce. Ryan ordered a tuna nicoise salad and I ordered a macaroni au gratin (basically Mac and cheese). Both were delicious, however the star dish was dessert - we ordered a caramelised banana ricotta tart with banana ice cream and it was AMAZING. Ryan and I hoovered it up and then licked the plate clean.
Afterwards we took a quick pitstop at Barnes and Noble before going to Central Park for a bike ride. We rode the full loop around the park which was 10km. It was kind of sprinkling here and there so there weren't many people or cars to battle with in the park making it a rather peaceful and relaxed experience.
We were pretty tired so headed home for a little rest. Met up with Nugen's girlfriend for dinner just around the corner from our apartment. She took us to eat meatballs which were pretty good. Now back home and super tired.
