Mobile August 7 days in New York- The 3 of us Day 3

So day 3 was the South of Manhattan. Statue of Liberty and 9/11.

Up and out for 8.30 as I had booked SOL for 10 am.
Booked Sol with Pedestal separately rather than using the City pass.
I had downloaded the Citymapper App which told me to go to Grand Central for a direct subway to Battery Park. It was about a 10 minute walk, purchased a metro card and put $20 on.

Got down to Battery Park and headed into Starbucks for granola yoghurt and coffee for breakfast.

Straight through lines and security and on a boat in no time.

We did SOL and then onto Ellis Island. Should have bought crown tickets for the teens really but I only got pedestal because I have arthritis in my joints so couldn't have done the stairs.








After a good few hours we went back to Battery Park and headed for 9/11 museum and memorial where we spent a sombre few hours







Had a wander around the area, went into the stunning Westfield Mall and then got the Subway to Grenwich village.

Wandered around the shops and park, my daughter wanted to go to "Do" the cookie dough place but the queue was an hours wait so we headed off to Dairy Queen instead for ice cream.

Found a small independent coffee shop so sat outside with drinks people watching for a while before getting the subway back up to the hotel.

Food tonight, drum roll please, Chipotle, which I have to say was really nice. Had Burritos 🌯

Hotel for 10 worn out again 😴😴
