New York Tour

Had a great time in New York City. So hugh and so much there it is unbelievable. Overwhelming with the choices of things to do and see. Took a tour one day and that was really nice a bus picked us up at our boutique hotels New York and took us to battery park where we were able to see the Statue of Liberty and get a boat that took us out the island. From there we saw some of the neighborhoods of lower Manhattan – the Village, Soho and the East Village. Wall Street was particularly interesting the history and what happens there today. We made our way up the island to see other site like the Empire State building, Chrysler building, and Rockefeller Plaza were highlights in midtown. Were able to get out and walk around some and experience the city. I really like seeing Grand Central station too. The giant Victorian building housing an enormous train station. Trans here can take you around Manhattan and the boroughs, upstate, to CT and all over the country. I couldn’t believe how big this building is and how many people pass through it every day. Simply amazing to me never having seen anything like that before in person. After that we were taken over to Broadway and saw the theater district and all the marquise touting the latest shows and we saw Time Square too. The cross roads of the world is right! Unbelievable how many people and all the signs and lights, sensory overload for sure!!! The city was amazing and crowded the streets everywhere were filled with people seemingly very busy and in a hurry to get somewhere. The buildings and all the different styles of ornamentation and stuff was cool to see to. We didn’t get enough time to see everything, but I suppose that is normal for anyone visiting NYC so much to see and do how could you do it all even if you lived there!
