New York City - Day 004

On Tuesday I didn't take as many pictures.  I walked a lot in NYC, but with so much to see I felt like I would miss something taking a cab or the subway.  However, each morning and evening I was taking the subway in and out of Manhattan from Queens or Brooklyn.

Tuesday's sights to see were the Statue of Liberty, WTC site, and Houston street.  So this time I took the train to the South Ferry and saw the Statue of Liberty.  Then I bought some nuts, the delicious cinnamon glazed almonds and cashews kind.  I walked along the waterfront which was really nice; the sky was completely clear and it was warm.  After seeing the WTC site and a while later, Houston St., I went to China town.

I really liked walking through China town and Little Italy.  My bus on Sunday was a China town bus and so I got to see some of China town that day, but this time I got to enjoy it.

It turned out to be another pleasant day walking through New York City.  Emily and I met up for some good Manhattan pizza and called it a night.

New York City - Day 003

Thank you everyone for commenting!  It makes doing this even more fun!  I'm a little behind and so I'm trying to catch up now.

Monday, I got up early and took the train to 23rd St.  There I got to see the Flatiron Building.  Originally, it was called the Fuller Building.  Upon its completion in 1902 it was one of New York City's tallest buildings.  http://www.nyc-architecture.com

The Flatiron Building is on the corner of 5th Ave. and Broadway.  There were a few things I wanted to see on 5th Ave. so I just walked up that way.   I saw the Empire States Building, NY Public Library, and the Apple store.  Then I walked through Central Park until I got to 84th St. which was close to the Guggenheim museum.  The Guggenheim was undergoing exterior renovation.

After going in the Guggenheim I was really tired and it was kinda chilly, so I sat down on a bench for like half an hour.  It was relaxing.  

Let's see, I need to write just the good stuff, I think that's why this blog is taking me so long I'm trying to write every detail.  Oh and the Metropolitan Museum of Art was closed because almost all museums are closed on Mondays.  Lame!

So, I went in St. Bartholomew's Cathedral.  I can't even find that place on my map right now I have no idea where all I walked.  Anyway, I'll sum this up.  I walked to Rockefeller center, Time Square, Grand Central Station, and eventually all the way back to 23rd St.

Then, Cara and I met up with Emily and the three of us went out for Sushi!

New York City - Day 002

I took the bus from Philadelphia to NYC for $12.  It took me right into China town in Manhattan.  From there I needed to get on the train and go meet my good friend Kelli's friend Cara.  I asked these British ladies what direction Lafayette street was and they offered me one of their maps.  I was very happy I asked them, they were very nice.  Then I got on my train and I was on my way uptown.  I met Cara at a Strand book store.  Her, a couple of her friends, and I all went out to eat sandwiches.

Later that night, Cara and I walked out to see the Manhattan skyline.  It was really pretty.

I don't know if I'll keep doing the budget thing.  I got a free map, so that was rad.

Alright, more New York City on its way.
