New York: Googoo Dolls.

A typical American pub that you see in the movies; rowdy men surrounding the bar, the most gorgeous rugged bartender, and a shy yet beautiful waitress sitting on the end of the bar, doing her best to ignore all the men that were trying to talk to her. We walk in shivering and worrying whether or not we should be in there- the bartender was incredibly welcoming and the men smiled politely at us both. The music was amazing, old school indie rock that had me and Daisy singing beautifully too. The meal we had was literally the best meal I have ever tasted, there were only four other people in there, yet our food took an hour to cook. It was good to know that it was all being prepared from scratch. It was a simple meal of a chicken burger with red and yellow peppers, and the chips, which were seasoned with what tasted like heaven. What made us laugh the most was when I sneezed; all of the men at the bar turned and said ‘bless you’. In England it is not customary to even talk to a stranger, let alone say ‘bless you’ if someone sneezes. When I next go to New York, I would love to go back to that pub; I think that may be the only meal I have ever taken my time over eating.
