Day 220 - Hello New York

Washington DC to New York City

We booked a door to door shared shuttle bus for our trip to the airport for our flight to NYC and we also arranged one at the New York end, they seem to offer a good service and it's all booked and paid for online.

The flight was pretty short and we were the first ones in our shuttle to be dropped off at our Airbnb apartment in the Upper West Side (UWS). The apartment is in a good location, close to Broadway Ave, and also to Central Park and the subway. It has one bedroom and a combined kitchen/living area, so a cute place for us to stay.

We spent the lovely autumn afternoon exploring the streets in the local area, which didn't seem touristy at all, everyone that was out and about in the UWS appeared to be locals. We then took a very pleasant walk through the northern part of Central Park, before returning to check out the local supermarkets in order to stock up on supplies, the big thing we noticed here is that there are a lot of pre-cooked and pre-prepared food options, many of them sized for single people.
