Liberty Cruise, Ground Zero, Wall street & Chinatown.
We took 3 hours Manhattan Cruise started @ 12.20 pm. I was afraid actually, you know, both of us easily got seasick, it happened to us on our honeymoon last year in Hawaii, we planned to go to the dinner cruise but then we got seasick and we had to cancel it. But anyway, we both were fine, the weather was very nice.
We had a great time, took a loot of pictures in front of the Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge & other skyscrapers. The first 2 hours we were still excited listening to the tour guide about Manhattan histories, however the last hour was pretty boring. (Actually from the CityPass ticket we bought, we only get the 2 hrs cruise, which only at 10 am & 4 pm, because we came around 12 pm, and we didn't want to wait for long, we upgraded for this 3 hrs cruise).
After cruise we took Subway to the Ground Zero, and walked to Wall Street, New York Stock Exchange. Then we continued and went to Chinatown. Ooh My Gooossh, this Chinatown is completely chaos, loots loots loots of people and total disarray. Reminds me of Pasar Tanah Abang in Jakarta. We bought souvenirs2 in here, then walked to Nolita (North Little Italy). Same as in SF, little Italy is only we a few blocks from Chinatown.
We had dinner at Bread Tribecca - Northern Italian Rest. We knew this rest. from our tour book guide, Frommer's. This book is very informative; it has all the info from inexpensive to very expense rest. If you already watched Eurotrip (a very funny movie), maybe you've heard about this Frommer's, we bought it because of that.
Finished dinner, we went to the famous Lombardi's pizza (also suggested by the book), and bought the pizza to go. It tasted kind of different, the dough was chewy. But we had it when it was cold, hopefully we'll have time to come again before we leave.
