Wednesday

We took the tube up to Midtown and walked down Madison Avenue to find a place for lunch. We had a chicken Fajita "Pressata" in a place called Europe cafe. Definitely worth trying if you get the chance.

After lunch we walked about the West Village / Greenwich Village which is very different to the central parts of Manhattan, very much the residential part of the city, and quite picturesque. We stopped in at an old wooden floored bar called the "White Horse" on Bank Street for a drink, and then wandered down the hudson river back to the hotel.



In the evening we discovered the south harbor on the lower east side where we stopped at a really nice seafood restaurant for dinner. After dinner we took a 30 minute night cruise out to the statue of liberty and back again. the views of the statue at night are amazing. Not to mention the classic Manhattan night skyline and Brooklyn Bridge.
