New York City 2025 - Part 6

Brooklyn Bridge
 
Wednesday - May 7th 2025
 
A beautiful day was upon us. The sun was shining and it was pretty warm. After breakfast at Cafe Aroma we headed to the subway station and took the metro to Brooklyn, where we gott off in Dumbo, because we wanted to see the famous Brooklyn Bridge. Dumbo is a small neighbourhood in Brooklyn from where we had a wonderful view of Manhattan Bridge. Then we strolled around Pebbles Beach and finally we were on our way back to Manhattan walking over the amazing Brooklyn Bridge. It was breathtaking walking towards New York Caity's fantastic skyline. Back in Manhattan we stopped at Starbucks for a refreshing iced coffee.

After our coffee break we headed towards Trinity Church. Since it was already noon we got hungry and decided to get something to eat at Chipotle Mexican Grill, but not before taking a look at the New York Stock Exchange at the famous Wall Street. Lunch at Chipotle was delicious. We all got Mexican bowls with rice, beans, vegetables and cheese. In the afternoon we planned to take the boat to Liberty Island to visit Lady Liberty. Once we purchased our tickets at Fort Clinton we boarded the next ship. From the water we got a stunning view of Manhattan and of the Statue of Liberty

When we arrived at Liberty Island we just took a walk around the statue, since we didn't have tickets to go inside Lady Liberty. Nonetheless the Statue of Liberty was still impressive from the outside. The island was packed with tourists and so we didn't want to spend too much time there and soon we took the next available ferry back to Manhattan. Claudia's parent were a little bit tired and so we took them back to the hotel, while we headed out again. First we stopped at the Nintendo Store at the Rockefeller Center and then we searched for a pub to get some drinks. Near our hotel we found the District Tap House and of course we ordered a couple of Bud Light beers. For dinner we got pizzas a 2 Bros Pizza again and after more drinks at the hotel bar we called it a day.
