Day 7 - Sightseeing New York

**NOTE: New York photos being delayed due to PAINFULLY slow internet. Check back soon.

Today, me and my dad had breakfast at a restaurant near Times Square. We then cabbed it over to the Empire State Building. We went to the top to see all the great sights. We saw where the Titanic would have docked (which is now a driving range.), and we saw the island where my great grandparents landed from Italy in the early 1900s. Right after, we went to Madison Square Garden. We saw everything. We saw the locker rooms, the luxury suites, and even the Club restaurant. We then went to Ground Zero. On the cab ride there, I slammed the door, and jammed my hip. It hurt. Yes.

After we stared into the green net covering Ground Zero, we went to Battery Park, where you could see the Statue of Liberty.

We saw Wall Street, and the New York Stock Exchange.

We then entered McDonalds. In this McDonalds, there was a woman at a piano singing. It was the classiest McDonalds I have ever been in. The cashiers were even dressed as if they were French.

We then met a nice cabbie from Montreal on the way to the Apple Store, to play with the iPhone again, among other things. This Apple Store, is literally a glass cube. Inside of this glass cube, you have two choices: the elevator or the stairs down into the mecca of Apple.

After that, we went into a 5-story Nike store. And to the hotel for a nap. We had a great dinner. We went back to Times Square, and past the Ed Sullivan theatre, again. I declared that “I have to see a David Letterman taping before I die”. I quickly corrected myself, saying that “I have to see a David Letterman taping before HE dies.”
