New York City Day Three

Don’t miss Day One and Day Two of our trip.

Day 3 in NYC started REALLY EARLY! It was our two year anniversary, and we had a day full of sightseeing, eating, and walking planned to celebrate. Maybe we were a little too ambitious with our planning, but we managed to see everything on our list, plus more.

Our day started with a bus ride to the train station, and then we walked 20 minutes in the wrong direction {Google Maps SUCKED that weekend!}, before we finally arrived at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island tour. I purchased the tickets shortly after booking our flight as part of our NYC touristy day. {If you’re planning a trip, purchase your tickets early. Pedestal and crown tickets sell out months in advance.}

This was probably the most touristy thing we did, and honestly, I didn’t like it. The view was amazing! Actually going to the Statue of Liberty was amazing. The crowds of tourist literally pushing you out of your seat to get the best picture possible, not so amazing. {That really happened, btw}

We walked to the top of the pedestal and had fun taking cheesy pictures around the island, before heading to Ellis Island. You can pick up a headset for a self-guided tour at both the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island when you get off the boat. We didn’t use them at the Statue of Liberty, but followed the self-guided tour at Ellis Island. It lasted about an hour.

Once the boat dropped us off, we headed to the 911 Memorial. On the way, we wondered around Wall Street, and tried to see the Charging Bull. It was surround by people taking pictures touching his man parts. We kept going.

We walked around the 911 Reflecting Pools.

From there we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.

I loved Brooklyn. I wish we had more time there. When we go back, we’ll plan a whole day there, at least! Once we crossed the bridge, we took a cab to Sixpoint for a private tour. We went to Brooklyn Brewery, too, but I’ll share our tours in a separate post with recipes :)

Once we finished our tour of Brooklyn, we had dinner next door at Mable’s Smokehouse.

Dinner was good and the Mac and Cheese was extra cheesy!

Once we finished up dinner, we got a cab to the Bowery Ballroom to see Lucero. Elizabeth is a fan of Lucero, too, and joined us at the concert. It was a small venue like the last time we seen Lucero in Fort Lauderdale. And the same obnoxious drunk guys was there, too! {I’m not sure if it was the same guy, but he was super drunk and extremely obnoxious, so I’m pretty sure they were related in some way!}

We walked over 12 miles that day {over 40 miles total during our 4 days in NYC}. By the time we made it back to Elizabeth’s, I never wanted to walk again! That didn’t last long, though. We were up early again the next day to explore Central Park and Hell’s Kitchen. I’ll be back next week with a recap from our last day. I’m dragging this out because I do not want it to end! It’s like I’m reliving the whole trip again!

I will be back on Friday with a recipe for Beer Brined Chicken or Turkey. Just in time of Turkey Day!
