New York City ~ Day 3


We started the day with breakfast at The Flame, Dad’s favorite, and then returned to take pictures around hotel and 15th floor terrace.

Then we took a subway to the Woolworth building. We entered St. Paul’s chapel whereWashington once sat. A choir from Ohio sang. There was a memorial of the towers collapsing and it was very moving.


We took pictures of the World Trade Center Ground Zero and Fire Station 10 from One World Financial Center. 

Dad played chess in Zuccotti Park. 



Cheryl and Carolyn took photos by the Bull in the Financial District. We saw the New York Stock Exchange, Tiffanys, the Federal building where a statue of George Washington is erected.

We all took a subway to Brooklyn and ate at Grimaldi’s Pizzaria. The line was so very long, but the food was worth the wait.


The Mom, Dad, Chris and Lorri went to the hotel while Cheryl, Carolyn and Erika crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, walked SoHo, Greenwich Village, saw theWashington Arch, and a ghost bicycle.

We took a subway to Grand Central Station, and OMG it was crowded! We were sardines. 



We took a bus to the UN building but there were no flags. We then took some bus rides to Rockefeller center to enter the Top of the Rock for a great deal of $10 per person to see the sunset.


We met up in Times Square with Lorri and Chris where we ate a New York hot dog and cheesecake.


Gotta have a hotdog from a street vendor.
