We are stunned by the development in the area.&nbsp;&nbsp;A mass of large blue glass buildings has emerged in the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are in search of the new Hudson Yards subway station. We use Google and navigate to where the entrance should be.&nbsp;&nbsp;No, its not there, a boarded up block under development sits at that spot instead. We circumnavigate the block just in case there the entrance has been moved.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nope.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wander closer to the Hudson River and venture into the Javits Centre. Maybe the entrance is in there. As we wander around we join a crowd of Anime lovers attending an Anime convention. There are some out there looking people, obviously many love their Japanese Anime Characters. But after talking to a few people, we get ushered out of the space and bac onto the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We pass a mass of snow and ice that has been swept up from the street and now sits on the side of the road like a large mound of dinosaur poo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wander back down 34<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and notice a large sculpture. We wander over there to check it out, it\u2019s called the Vessel.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is still under construction, but what is adjacent to it is the new entrance to the new subway station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We venture into the subterranean world, deeper and deeper we go.&nbsp;&nbsp;Three large flights of escalators finally delivers us some 150 feet underground.&nbsp;&nbsp;We catch the subway back up town and visit The Met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a quick visit to the Met, mostly the shop, we venture onto 85<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Street for some lunch. Its quite late, we spent an age wandering around the Hudson Yards. So it\u2019s more an early dinner than lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sit an enjoy the food for a while. The great thing about holidays is that rarely are you in a hurry. So lunches and dinners can take as little or as long as you like. We enjoy a selection of burgers, fries and desserts at the New Amity Restaurant and Diner as we sit and enjoy a rest after the walk in the bitter cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After dinner we head home and spend a few hours in doors, thawing out<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[rl_gallery id=&#8221;16617&#8243;]<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we wander along 42nd&nbsp;Street and head out to Hudson Yards.
