New York City: Day 3

Day 3:


Staten Island Ferry
We were going to take the trip over to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.... but the Statue of Liberty is under renovations for the next few months. Due to the cold and the inability to actually go inside the statue - we opted for the Staten Island Ferry that took you right by this beauty..... and again its my favorite price free.99 However, Ellis Island and the museum is amazing - it was one of my favorites when I came in High School so that was little sad to miss, but we will be back so Mark can see it.
Brooklyn Bridge


I work for an architectural firm and we are possibly designing "Slice" for a Las Vegas location. My boss asked me to stop by while I was there to check it out, get some pictures, local information, etc. It was a fun little pizza joint with a healthy flare, whole-wheat crust, organic veggies and cheese, free-range chicken, etc.


Trip Highlight. We stayed at "The Jane", a really great funky hotel with a great little history. It was built in 1906 where it was used for lodging for sailors and captains. They built the rooms with little port hole windows and narrow small rooms like a ships corridors. It was used to house Titanic survivors after the ship sank. Its a mix of nautical flare, Victorian, and new age. Plus it has the most adorable Persian cafe attached. The bedroom, well it was tight and certainly an adventure. We shared 1 bunk room = 4 people + 2 smaller than normal twin size beds. We couldn't all be standing at the same time
Good thing we had the best bunk mates in the world. Collette & Justin are a blast to travel with.
