Day 2-Continued

It was an easy walk which was straight up and took about 10 minutes. We saw all kinds of buildings including some nice looking apartments and it was very quiet around the area.

Once we got upto the reflection pools we just walked around taking it all in. It was very moving and a beautiful memorial.





We only stayed briefly and then realised the Oculus building(Westfield) was quite close by. Arron had said he needed more warm clothes.



We located another H & M and Arron bought jeans and a hoodie. We left here and went looking for the Ghostbusters Firehouse.

We went up W Broadway and Varick Street.







It was another quiet walk with quite a lot of residential buildings and the weather was better as we were inland.

When we arrived, the firehouse wasn't open but Arron was happy to just get a few photos outside.







The street was much less busy and central than I had always imagined which was weird.

We walked from here upto Canal street where we crossed to Hudson Street as it eventually becomes 9th Avenue.





This walk was super different as we walked through TriBeca and into Greenwich Village which all felt more residential and less built up than the rest of NYC.







The Halloween decorations were col, and I ended up in Sweet Corner to get a cookie. This was quite a 'local' feeling bakery as there were regulars in there. One lady was warning 'Clementine darling it's busy!' and another telling 'Ava not to forget her cheesebread'.

It was a nice upmarket area though so I don't blame them! They were completely cashless too which seemed quite modern.

After about 15 minutes we came across Chelsea Market by accident so we popped in for a look.







Chelsea market was very busy and had awesome Halloween decorations again.



We walked through but pencilled it in for our next day as we were on our way back to the hotel.



We walked upto Distrikt and got into the hotel at 4:30 so our deour had taken us a while but we had really enjoyed the walk and having a look around.

We stayed in the room for about 40 minutes before heading to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner. We ate in here and left again at 6:55.

From there we walked upto the M & M store.





We got $14 of sweets for our evening of theatre. Arron actually ate most of them

We walked to W52nd street to see King Kong at the Broadway Theatre.







The theatre was fabulous with huge chandeliers and the ladies toilets had a lounge area

We were sat in the rear mezzanine and had a pretty good view considering we were in the cheap seats







The show was crazy but good, the Kong animatronic/puppet was running and jumping, there was UV paint and strobe lights too.

The show finished at 10:30 and we walked back to the hotel. Headed to bed at 11pm
