Day 5,6 & 7 New York

Tuesday - Spent most of the time at home with Grandparents, went to Macy's with them, bought OPI - so cheap ! , Chinatown, Grandma's nails salon etc.


The Macy's in town still uses the wooden escalator .. so antique !


Dinner time celebrated Grandma birthday !



Yummy fish cooked by grandma.

Taiwan sausage.

Vege

Assam prawns. My Favs ! I did help to wash the dishes ..

Wednesday - Took the subway out.

Wanted to go to the Liberty but the queue was extremely long, therefore we went wall street instead.

The queue is crazy long !

Wall street. See the street name at the back?

NYSE building

Trump tower. Actually can see many trump building around new York.

Tiffany & Co. Didn't enter. No money to buy anything from there.

Ate at Wall Street. Love their street food !

This is where the 9/11 happened. Nothing much to see.

Infront of 9/11 church

Memorial for helper, ppl invoved etc


Around the corner is Century 21 .. Too bad can't buy much because no car to load the stuff !

Hop In Hop Out Bus. The best .. brings you to all the tourist spot. Should have taken this at the very 1st day.

Think the tour guide mention something bout Sex & the City.

NBC studio

Bloomingdales with many more store down the road.

So many ppl everywhere, anytime !

US post office

Beside these places, the bus do brings us to all Downtown tourist spot which includes, Greenwich Village, WTC, Lower East Side, Broadway, Little Italy etc. I prefer the downtown compare to the uptown side. The best part is you can hop down to tht spot ! Won't get lost at all, can ask the tour guide openin/closing time,equal save time and all those walking!

Thursday- Took the subway out again.

At Lincoln Center. Don't know how we ended up here.



Pass by Farmer's market .. the fruits and vege looks fresh.

Went to Empire State. Stayed there before sunset and after sunset. Was freezing at the top.
