After grabbing a very mediocre breakfast at Applebee's (too hungry to walk far; we may also have freshened up in the loo), we headed out. One of the first things I noticed as we walked out was "Empire State of Mind" playing in the street - now is only the Taylor Swift song had come out then!
One of my goals were to see the Stephen A. Schwarzman building, probably one of the most iconic libraries. Sadly, the room I wanted so very much to see was under construction.
Grand Central was also on the list; Shake Shack was an added bonus.
Went to find our house in Staten Island, and then after figuring some details out, we headed back out!
The lights of Times Square make it feel as if night never truly comes; we wandered around and I started to feel a bit sleepy, checked the time to realize it was past 12am. Magic of the city that never sleeps!
Taking the ferry is actually very calming. It was a nice precursor to all the walking and getting lost we would do. Also it brings you decently close to the Statue of Liberty... all for free!
And this ended our first day in "the Big Apple" (P.S. is that a name that no one uses anymore...?).
