Wish we saw more of this in our country - but hang on a minute we are a minority so they cant

Btw, may i ask how much you ended up paying for flights and the hotel? Been looking at NY for a while but flights always seem to be about £5/600 alone
575 for flights and 4 nights each
£575 just for flights? or does that include the hotel aswel? surely not
Any chance of some high resolution versions hosted on PB or anything as id love some as my wallpaper

Can imagine. Though it's the kinda thing I wouldn't do by myself, think it'd be better as part of a romantic coupley evening out.

Well they're not worried about upsetting some minority. They probably still put up "Christmas Lights" instead of "Festival Lights" and pull Christmas, not "celebration" crackers.

Not really, that's why they call it 'The Holidays' rather than Christmas
The Yanks invented political correctness.

I have a carbon copy of every pic from my visit to NYC back in 2007. Amazing place. Every street corner looks like a movie set.
I went to see a Yankees game too. Was amazing.
