Squid's Eye View NYC: Day Two: PART I

Day Two began early and went so long that this day will have to get covered in two, count 'em two, blogs. We started the day by taking the MACRO view of Manhattan when we boarded the cheesy, but fun CIRCLE LINE. I wish I could remember the song from those old commercials. I just remember the footage was from the 50s! We took the 3 1/2 full around Manhattan ride. We saw where Sully landed the plane and heard the crews' stories of how they went to the rescue. We went under every bridge and got to see the skyline from all sides. Our guide probably came to NYC to be a Broadway Star. He had the voice for it. But, you know what they say about the lights on Broadway....

The day continued on by us covering most of Wall Street and the waterfront and hearing some great jazz, but more on that in Part II



The NY skyline is sadly not what it was when I lived here. It's painful to me still. But, there is still much to behold in the Empire and Chrysler Building.


The Staten Island Ferry. Worth taking just for all the movie trivia. We may just do that before we go...


They are taking these old subway cars out to sea to create an artificial reef for fish as an eco project. Recycle, Reuse...


Notice his peace sign hat. LOVED this guy! A most excellent NYC dockworker.


And we ate bagels. Although you wouldn't believe how long it took us to actually find one. Yo, it's New York! Where the bleep are the bagels!

Stay tunes for Part II.... must go eat more bagels and prepare for our adventures today.
