Whole buildings had their exteriors as electronic billboards! (Also a huge Cirque du Soleil - Corteo billboard). From there we walked to Empire State Building and had a good look around from 86th floor - great view! (This computer's teasing me - when I get the pictures working I'll put a few shots up... )
We lined up for tickets to the Dave Letterman Show, and are in the lottery to get tickets up until Monday before we leave.... but it is a lottery, so not holding our breath.
We then walked through:
- Flatiron Building District
- Madison Square Park for lunch (giant pretzel)
- Greenwich Village
- NoHo (meaning North of Houston Ave)
- SoHo, then down West Broadway to
- Tribeca
- out to Battery Park, where is started raining pretty heavily, then
- Wall St (which is really quite short), then crosstown to
- Seaport Historic District, down to
- Staten Island Ferry Terminal, then caught subway to
- ChinaTown for dinner.
It was during today we also went to see Ground Zero (World Trade Centre)... the site itself was basically a big construction zone, fenced off with a number of posters around the outside... we were both expecting something a little more emotional....
We walked back home through Little Italy (which is full of really cosy streets and has a lovely warmth to it)... Phil was absolutely dog-tired, and kept on falling asleep on train, or at dinner (damn Da Vinci).
