It was a sad day today, having to say goodbye to NYC again and get back to the UK (and the midnight – 3am Islanders games).  I did a little bit of shopping this morning and went to Junior’s Brooklyn which was the first Junior’s (1965) for some of their famous cheesec

On Saturday I did very very little.  I watched football all day in the hotel room and I ordered Japanese take-away to the hotel room too.  It brought back good memories of last summer having Udon noodles again. I did book myself a swanky meal for the evening in Brooklyn though and had

It’s Friday and I planned on having a Manhattan day today.  I still did, but changed the plan in that I headed to the famous Junior’s for breakfast.  I had pancakes, bacon and eggs but it was too early to have cheesecake (which is what they’re famous for) so I will n

I was pretty lazy today to be honest, and finished off the last couple episodes of Making a Murderer and I’ve been watching way to much of the Hockey channel in the hotel room. I was staying in Brooklyn today because of the HUGE game tonight, the NY Islanders Vs NY Rangers.  It

I have seen a lot of the ‘7 Song Challenge’ going around Facebook at the moment, and I’ve not paid much to attention to it to be honest.  I have no idea what it is meant to raise awareness for or anything but it did cast my memory back to reading Nick Hornby’s

After a cracking end to 2014 with my nephew being born, I was ready to tackle 2015 and continue my recent tradition of trying to top the year before.  I had big plans for 2015 and now I am sitting here looking back on it, it has been an absolute cracker! It started off with a slight c

I am currently sitting in Narita airport, looking back on my trip before I head home via a 12 hour flight. 31 days, 15 towns/cities it has been an amazing trip and I will miss this country. Transport The transport in Japan is truly epic. The trains are on time, comfortable, quick and
