UWS & Columbia

Sunday morning, albeit with a slightly pounding head, we caught the subway all the way to 100th and Columbus.

In Sydney, David and I use to joke what we did not go any more west that Pyrmont, and generally speaking in New York, we don't go much north of 60th street - so this was quite the adventure!

The upper west side is full of pockets of neighborhoods each very different to the next. Our first stop was Tom's restaurant most famous for being the Seinfeld Cafe.















We then pounded the streets until we reached the church of St John the Divine.

The building itself is truly gothic with vaulted ceiling, large columns, and the largest stained glass window in the US. Inside the church is massive, with the main area being tall enough to fit the Statue of Liberty.

We had a lovely time wandering round and listening to the organ, before heading outside and enjoying the sun in the surrounding gardens.

It was then onto the sprawling grounds of Columbia University. We toured the most recent constructions as well as old favourites such as the library, so it was nice to see what the fuss was all about, despite our sore feet at the end of the day!
