NYC 4

This is the hotel we stayed in. Melinda got an incredible deal on priceline.


I am very proud to say that we successfully navigated our way through the subway (and during rush hour) the whole time.

We took the Staten Island ferry just so we could see the Statue of Liberty. This was a cool looking dock next to us.

We ate lunch at Caracas (Venezuelan). It was pretty good. I especially like my mango-guava drink.
Immediately following lunch, we walked over to Pom Frites for what is supposed to be the best fries in NYC. The fries were good, but what made it special was the +20 flavors of dipping sauce. My favorite was the roasted eggplant mayo.

We walked through Greenwich Village (home to NYU) and stopped in Washington Square. Very different college scene from my time at Ricks.

Our last stop before heading home was Grand Central Station which was so much prettier than Penn Station where we caught our train home.
