Wednesday was a very long day, but what a day it was. We left our hotel at 8a, and didn't return to the hotel until 11:40p. After taking an an hour and twenty minutes to go 12 miles including through the Lincoln Tunnel, we met our step-on tour guide who took us up, down, and all around Manhattan. Highlights of the tour included: The UN Building, Midtown Manhattan, Grand Central Station, The Flat-Iron Building, The Garment District, and the Financial District. We stopped at the 9/11 memorial and museum. We were there for about an hour and a half. There is so much in the museum and at the memorial that we could have spent 3 hours there. After the museum we walked through the Oculus, past the Port Authority subway station and arrived at our lunch spot. Following lunch we headed up the West Side Highway where we went through Chelsea, Greenwich Village, all the way up to W. 125th street. This allowed us to see Harlem, Yoko Ono's Apartment, and the West Side of Central Park. We dropped south on the East side of Central Park. Due to traffic and time constraints we were unable to get off the bus at certain points.
We had dinner at Ellen's Stardust, then the group had time to walk around Times Square before we headed to the historic Lyceum theater to take in the new Broadway Show Be More Chill. Following the show it was back through the Lincoln Tunnel and back to the hotel to get ready for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and Radio City Music Hall on Thursday. I will update this post later with pictures from the day.
