Today we started out by taking the subway to the Brooklyn Bridge. It was huge, but very chilly out. We made our Starbuck's stop to take off the shivers. We headed to the Staten Island Ferry to ride by the Statue of Liberty. It was a great free ferry ride. Nice and toasty warm, and beautiful views. We've had great sunny (but cold) weather here all three days. Being on the ferry reminded me of being in Seattle again. Kevin loves skyline pictures, and of the 100 he took, this is one of the better ones.
We headed to Greenwich and Soho to check out the shops. We found a great corner restaurarnt called the Riviera and started with lunch. Turns out we would need the energy. All these little uniqe stores are great, but they are PACKED full of people, so it was actually hard to even browse. But it was still neat to visit a different part of town. We stopped by Dean & Deluca which just happened to be sampling some Gruyere cheese. Don't mind if we do! We bought some to bring back to our apartment.
After that, we headed back to our apartment stopping at a bakery for cookies, then at a small grocer for soup, bread and fruit to go with our Gruyere. A little mni-feast! We are ready to chill out, as today it seems we did the most walking of all.
