New York 23rd November 2015

Bought weekly passes for the metro and caught the subway to Staten Island Ferry terminal. We went over on the ferry it takes 25 minutes you get a great view of the statue of liberty. No desires to stand in a 90 minute queue to go to the top of her. Quite impressive. We only need to go to the lounge on the 27th floor to get a good view of Manhattan. We had a wander around Staten quite poor area not much going on. We grabbed a snack called a Stomboli like a crusty loaf with various fillings mine had chicken and broccoli. Arthur's a good few different kind of meat. We then headed back on the ferry. We then caught another subway and went to Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho  glad we went but wouldn't be in a hurry to go back. Chinatown really grotty and shops are full of tat. We then caught the subway to Grand Central where we went to the whispering arches, it was fun. I then then came back to the hotel and went to do my laundry, what a great set up. They have two washer drier machines and they supply the detergent for you. Ideal as we are here for two weeks. We are now heading out for a meal. A good day and the weather was fantastic.
Went for a curry in a little Indian restaurant close by to the hotel. Food was fantastic. Arthur had goat. I had chicken thoroughly enjoyed it.
