Another day, another Skyscraper!

We decided to do the Rockerfeller Center called Top of the Rock. Again we were there nice and early and there were no queues. The weather was slightly cooler today at around 70F and a little cloudy but if anything the views were clearer!
The Rockerfeller Center


 World Trade Center
 Empire State and World Trade Center
 Central Park



 432 Park

George Washington Bridge across the Hudson in the distance
Then back down to look at the ice rink
and look back up at the Top of the Rock


Then a quick look at St Patricks Catholic Cathedral




We have never been into Central Park so we took the Subway towards the Bronx to walk back through the Park.


















Then a look at the Trump Tower



Trump Tower is nice if you like pink marble and mirrors! The water wall below.

We had an excellent sandwich each for lunch which we ate back at the hotel: we needed a rest after an exhausting morning!
In the afternoon we took the Subway to Brooklyn and explored the East River Front with views back to Manhattan.

 Statue of Liberty
Brooklyn Suspension Bridge 
Manhattan Bridge - road and rail. The piers are made of steel and when a train goes over the noise is deafening!

Despite being exhausted from a lot of walking we decided to walk back to Manhattan over Brooklyn Bridge - once we had found where the foot path started!

Back to 34th Street Station after a long but enjoyable day
Finally an excellent meal at the Metro Grill

Do we have enough energy to walk to Times Square after dinner?
