Downtown New York

On Thursday 21st April we had breakfast at Lindy's Diner then took the subway to South Ferry but the queues for the ferries to Ellis and Liberty Island were horrendous hours long so we just visited the downtown area instead. Oh well means we will have to go back again one day. We to the Wall Street area, the Ground Zero area, oh how that has changed again. Spent lunch time at Pier 17, sun bathed on the terrace watching Brooklyn. Caught the subway and taxi back to hotel. My husband took youngest daughter T-shirt shopping in the Times Square area. We stocked up on American cereal, Hershey's chocolate sauce and tootsie rolls at Klein's Supermarket where we couldn't get discount because of our name. In the evening we went to Greenwich Village for supper with friends. Subway back to hotel and cold footbath again.
