As soon as arrived in New York we were constantly on the move, so on day 3 we thought we would give our legs a bit of a rest and use the subway to get to certain places. We got the subway to Brooklyn and found a restaurant called Junior's to have breakfast - again, the biggest portions I have ever seen! This restaurant had one of the best hot chocolates that I have ever tasted, it was so creamy and not too rich!
Brooklyn had a completely different atmosphere to NY. We went into a couple of shops and then decided that there wasn't much to do, so we went straight to Brooklyn Bridge. This was the coldest day so probably not the best decision but it was a great experience, the views were amazing! We got to see the statue of Liberty from the bridge which was good because we hadn't planned to see her otherwise because of the lack of time.
We then got back on the subway and went to the 9/11 memorial. This had an eerie feeling, but at the same time it felt really peaceful, the sound of water distracted the noise of the city. If I ever visit New York again then I would like to visit the museum because although I have heard that is is very upsetting, I would like to see what it contains.
SoHo
shopping was the next place we visited which was my favourite area. It was very trendy and cool, this was the unique area that I had imagine and would definitely recommend shopping here because there is every shop that you would want. Lastly, we found China Town and Little Italy. China Town was just a long road that had cheap stalls and restaurant, personally, I thought that Little Italy was more impressive. This had tiny restaurants and the road was decorated with lights and flags.
Stay tuned for tomorrows post about Day 4 in NYC!
