Busy Day...

Today has been busy - BUSY! We started (after breakfast) by taking the subway downtown to catch the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. We climbed to the observation deck and had some great views back over Manhatan. We then sailed past Elis Island before returning to the city proper. We walked up past Wall Street to Ground Zero - freaky. From there we went east to City Hall and then took the long walk over Brookland bridge (with a Starbucks).

We lunched at Grimaldi's were they served some of the nicest pizza ever (a good tip from a friend in Grimsby). We then took the subway back to Broadway where we walked through Grenwich Village to Pen Station. Here I went to B&H photo and bought some lenses for my camera (70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM and a 50mm f/1.8) along with a new strap. We then hit Macey's and bought K a DKNY watch.

Nest stop was the Empire States Building where we got some of the most amazing night city views ever (example below). FInally we headed back to the hotel for a bath and warm up - ready to hit town for some beer, dinner and a few cocktails :)
