We spent at least four full days in New York City.
We saw Mary Poppins on Broadway, we took in all
of the major tourist attractions, and we stayed right
ON Times Square. We walked nearly everywhere. It
was fun to see in person what we have always seen
on TV. We even got to see a little bit of Good
Morning America in person. We got to see the
Intrepid and were there during Fleet Week, so there
were lots of Navy personnel walking around
everywhere. The whole visit was an adventure we
will never forget. The city was crowded, but not
unbearable.
Our hotel right on Time Square
We could see the big M & M out our hotel room window.
Touring the city by double decker bus is great! You get to see a whole different perspective of the city and the buildings. Most of the tour guides are great. They each have a
different view of the importance of places and events in the city's history.
Times Square, the Empire State Building, the Statue of
Liberty and Ellis Island were all important places we got to
see. We got to walk up inside the base of the Statue of
Liberty, which required a special ticket. We could look up
and see the spiral staircase going up inside the actual statue.
It was fascinating. The photo at the left is one of the original
torches. We had a very short wait to catch the elevator to the
top of the Empire State Building. We stayed until almost
dusk so we could see the city change with the sun going
down.
If you can't guess what the photo above is, it is a handrail inside the Empire State Building. All of the decor was very opulent.
