New York 4th May - "Yo shut the fuck up man, he's trying to tell some jokes!"

This was a busy busy day, highlights included:
Rob and Ian went to the Gugenheim whilst me and Owen spent NINETY MINUTES looking for a suitable diner before finally settling on this breakfast....



....which led to this happening in a bin outside.



So many pancakes.

We then went to FAO Schwartz, the home of the piano from the film Big and it was a Big disappointment, not a patch on the Times Square Toys R Us. Then back to the glorious Williamsburg. There was this chinless sonofabitch stood near us at all times as we browsed in a record store and he kept looking and listening at/to us, obviously realising we were English. We thought nothing of this until we were walking through a sketchy area where we saw the fruit from the record shop with four other fruits from his punnet and a photographer.... Turns out it was English hipsters The Horrors! Well known for being absolutely fucking rubbish! They were doing a piece with NME so we made sure we got our own shots (from a safe distance, lest we get our faces scratched).


There they are in the background looking all 'important'
Footlocker Times Square. The staff; feckless, unhelpful, disinterested, 'street', attitudeful, rude, ugly, spotty TWATS.
Then off for better times with Owen's sister Carys and her boyfriend Jaren at the Dinosaur grill on the edge of Harlem. So. Much. Meat. Great.
Then back to UCB for more chuckles with Aziz Ansari, a tremendous little tyke of a comedian and an excellent supporting cast. Front row seats this time and the obligatory 'meet the act and tell him to look pissed off in the picture'. Except I got confused and also looked pissed off. Oh well
