Er, that’s about it. But while this is my fourth or fifth time here, it’s the first one I’ve been like a tour guide: I’m showing my mother the place.

And I must be doing okay because she’s said this holiday is the greatest experience of her life. She said it in the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, so maybe she just meant she’d had a Damascus moment there and joined the faith, I’m not sure.

But may I offer you a sample of the kind of indepth local knowledge I’ve been displaying?

New York City is the best place in the world.

There you go; I’ve often thought it, I’ve always thought it really, but I haven’t said it to you.
