Stayed in the Upper West side, our hostel was only a 2 min walk into the massive central park where rollerbladed and just chilled. We definitely knew how to fill our days with New York City's sights! We saw the Statue of Liberty from the Staten Island ferry, went through Battery Park and checked out the Skyscraper Museum. We went through Wall Street on a Sunday and a weekday and both experiences were totally different! Also there we saw the large bronze "Bull of Wall Street"! With a very large pretzel at hand we walked only a short while on the Brooklyn Bridge as the weather wasn't in our favour. Quick visits to Grand Central Station, Empire State building and Maddison Square Garden, Hudson River. The 100 year old subway system makes all this commuting easy! We visited famous sights from Tv shows and movies like the Restaurant from Sienfield, Carrie Bradshaws apartment from Sex in the City, Friends apartment block, Ghostbusters building and Felix Restaurant from Big Daddy where Adam Sandler & Julian pee on the wall! We also saw New York's Chinatown and Little Italy both full of buzz. Broadway and Times Square were both visited during the day and night! Very busy part of New York and very bright at night. Nic dragged Jack through the Upper East side for a cupcake and Breakfast At Tiffany's! A fun night out was spent at a Yankees Game. The Yankees won a very easy 7-0! Go Yankees! We also got to spend a night out with our friends Cam and Simone which was a great catch up! To (sadly) finish our time in New York, we visited the 9/11 memorial sits and laid about Central Park for the last time! Good-bye USA because we have an overnight flight to our next destination... England!
