My boyfriend turned 30 a few weeks ago and for his present I booked us a trip to NewYork and the Wellington Hotel is where I picked for us to stay due to its central location in Manhattan.
Last Wednesday we flew out to NYC and checked into the Wellington.
If you didn't know already this is where part of the Borat film was made, the main scene being where he tries to unpack his things in the lift thinking its his room and so many Borat jokes ensued in the elevators during our stay.
The location of the hotel is amazing, its a 1 minute walk from Carnegie Hall, 2 minutes from Central Park and 5 minutes from Times Square and is located on the corner of 55th Street and 7th Avenue.

When we checked in ...
Advantages: A lot to see & do, has something to offer for everyone Disadvantages: Too much to see and do, can be exhausting, expensive hotels

Advantages: Small, Cheap, Quick to get around and beautiful animals Disadvantages: Some animals looked way too hot in the heat we had. Wasn't sure if it was cruel or not?
to get onto 5th Avenue and then enter through there. You will be on Museum Mile at this point, I believe opposite the Guggenheim. As you walk into the park, you are taken back at how different it is from the hustle and bustle of NewYorkCity.
If you walk into the park, you?ll see a path leading down to the left, follow this and you?ll soon see the Children?s Zoo on the left, keep walking and you?ll then see Central Park Zoo on your right.
Exhibit Areas
I was shocked to see the different areas within the zoo, it is pretty much situated into three exhibit areas; tropic, temperate and arctic. All of these areas feature some beautiful animals, all of which seem to be well taken care of.
Animals
The first zone you come to within the Zoo is the Tropic Zone, we didn?t really spend too much time here as I?m not a huge fan ...
