Day 1

9/11 Memorial & Museum, Greenwich Street, New York, NY, USA
Little Italy, Manhattan, New York, NY, USA
Times Square, Manhattan, NY, USA
Central Park, New York, NY, USA
Rockefeller Center, Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY, USA

Took an early flight to Newark and caught the train to NY City. It’s a bit expensive at around $30 pp round-trip, but we couldn’t get to LaGuardia (you can take the bus much cheaper from there to get into the city).

Went to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, and I really, really liked what they did there. Not many words to say, just that I feel they did a great job deciding how to do a memorial for one of the most tragic days in history.

Had lunch in Little Italy, then took the subway to Times Square. Walked around, then walked to Central Park for a little bit. It really is awesome to be in a huge park but see skyscrapers in all directions.

Walked down 5^th Avenue as it was getting darker and made our way to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree. Got some street food for dinner and took the train back to Newark to fly back. Lots to see in New York City, but I felt like we hit the highlights and it wasn’t too rushed at all. There are a lot of things that are within walking distance, but the subway is convenient for the things that are too far apart.
