New York Adventure - Part 5

Part Five...

Day Four...

Also known as the final day in NYC.

Cue super funny crying GIF.

Day Four was a top contender as my favorite day in NYC. Why? Well, I got to see this beauty...

...among other things. But let's go back and start from the beginning.

The day started out slowly. We had absolutely no idea what to do that day. We had one thing planned. We had tickets to see Wicked on Broadway, but the show didn't start until 8 p.m. We actually contemplated hanging out in the hotel room all day. We really did.

That is until we got hungry and had to venture out for food. You might be wondering if you have been keeping up, why I never really mentioned any cool restaurants or bars that we visited in NYC. The answer is simple, we didn't go to any.

My brother and I were two Texans, afraid in the big city. Also, my brother was only 19, so bars were out anyway. We basically ate a lot of Mcdonalds and Chipotle during the trip. We did find our love for street vendor hot dogs, but there were two things I was not going to leave the city without having.

Pizza and Cheesecake. So we ventured out and I got both.

They were great. I enjoyed every bite, but now that we were out, we didn't want to go back in. The weather was beautiful that day, and not nearly as hot as it was before (why did we decide to go at the end of July I'll never know).

We decided that since we were unable to get tickets to tour the Statue of Liberty (Word of advice, buy tickets to that WAY in advance. Like months, or you won't get in.) we decided to do the next best thing. Take the Staten Island Ferry. It's free and goes right next to the statue, so at least you are decently close.

By this time, we were masters of the subway, and jumped on the train going downtown and headed to the ferry. I LOVED being on the ferry. Something about being on the water and the wind was nice and cool off of the New York Harbor just made me feel like I was home.

Our Ferry has arrived!

She was just so awe-inspiring 

I loved the water so much.

Now don't worry, there is more to come. This day was too good to fit into 1 part. There are two more parts to this day...
