Sightseeing in NY

Well manage to sleep late to help over come the jet lag, got up at 7am, had a leisurely breakfast of waffles and syrup in the hotel, before taking a slow walk to Jamaica Station, Decided to no go direct to Manhattan we went to Long Island City Terminus, basically a single platform at the carriage sidings, our train was

4072 Coach

4004 Coach

We did attempt to get a ferry across the river, but the terminal was a building site so that idea was abandoned and the subway used instead. We headed to The World trade center site, this has progressed since my last visit 2 years ago the first new tower is taking shape, as are the other buildings around the site, we walked around to the World Finance Center where we had brunch, I had a a Pastrami Melt, we continued around finding the 9/11 museum and then Fire House 10 with the NYFD memorial. We then took a walk to battery park and the Staten Island Ferry, which is free and gives great views of the statue of Liberty. while we waited for the trip ferry back had a orange smoothie, and got brain freeze. After we got back we headed to Times Square and then to the USS Intrepid, after that it was a yellow cab and off to find the Dakota building next to central park. Then it was feeding time again headed the the Food Concorce at Grand Central and Two Boots and had a small salad followed by spaghetti and meatballs. Made our way back the Penn Station to pick up our Amtrak tickets and then Long Island Rail road back to Jamaica our train being
