New York City Trip - Day #3

We slept in until 9:30!  We are feeling a little jet lagged.  We took the double decker tour bus to Downtown.  It was freezing cold today, we were bundled up, but still bone cold.  Anyway, sitting on the top of the bus was so much fun!  Me and mom were the only ones up there.

We rode the bus downtown to see the Freedom Tower.  We took a few pictures, but we were freezing - my hands were numb, so we went to a nearby department store and had hot chocolate and donuts at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf inside the store to warm up.  It turns out that's the only food we ate until dinner!

After that we walked to Battery park to see the Statue of Liberty.  We were too late to take the ferry to see it, so we admired it from afar.  We were both disappointed we couldn't get a closer look.

We tried to catch the bus back uptown, but we ended up waiting at the wrong stop, and we were freezing and didn't want to wait any longer, so we decided to take the subway.  We rode it to Herald Square and went shopping at Macy's.

We had reservations at 8:00 PM at Becco restaurant in the theatre district.  We walked there from our hotel.  It was a very tiny place, crowded. We were finally seated, but had people milling around by us the whole time.  It was really yummy Italian food though, and we were starving.

After dinner we walked around Times Square and then back to our hotel.
