Days 13-15 - New York City

Tuesday morning we boarded a commuter train from Sea Cliff, NY to NYC. This was a really nice train ride into the city. Once we got off the train (we were underground), we headed up the stairs right into downtown Manhattan. WOW!!! What a sight! We've enjoyed two days full of sightseeing. On Tuesday, we dropped our luggage at the hotel, took a subway to Ground Zero, and toured the 9/11 memorial. That night we went to dinner at Ellen's Stardust Diner and experienced Times Square at night! Then on Wednesday we took a back stage tour at Radio City Music Hall (very cool!) and then were able to go to the top of the Rockefeller Center (67th floor) where we had a 360 degree view of the city. We could see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and Central Park. After the tours, we walked some more, some groups had lunch from a street cart, and walked through Central Park. That night we went and saw Cinderella. This morning we are boarding a bus for a tour of other parts of the city. Tonight we fly home to get ready for the reunion weekend and home concert at Abravanel Hall on Saturday night, then the WBR Sunday Service.
