We walked a LOT. Firstly we walked all over Greenwich Village (the west village) - pretty place. Shane loved it because it has many grungy looking cafes that look like they serve REAL coffee...something he hasn't found in the US so far - he is actually not drinking coffee since we have been here, maybe one every 3 or 4 days.
We found a fabulous bakery that sold amazing cookies - the girls struggled to choose but rainbow sprinkles won out in the end (as it always does).
After exploring the village, we caught the subway to Brooklyn and walked back into Manhattan (in the rain) over the bridge. Actually - we RAN over the Brooklyn bridge because Eloise decided she needed to go to the toilet halfway across!!!
Still managed to get a few photos of uptown, downtown and the statue of liberty on the way over...
The Brooklyn Bridge
The Statue of Liberty
Downtown Manhattan - the central business district
Uptown Manhattan - the shopping and theatre district
For dinner tonight - we went down Broadway to a little Diner that may look familiar to many Seinfeld fans....
The inside isn't exactly like the TV show - but there is a lot of Seinfeld memorabilia....and I swear friends of Mr and Mrs Costanza were at the table beside us!
Tomorrow afternoon we fly out to Dublin, Ireland (via Zurich, Switzerland - go figure) so I suspect we will spend most of our final hours in New York at Central Park.
New York has been fabulous. It's a busy, busy, busy city that holds more people than I thought could exist in one place together - it certainly is the city that never sleeps and I will leave knowing that we have taken quite a big bite out of the Big Apple!!!
