Well James was off to work early this morning. Bel and I woke, had some eggs and tea then headed off down town.
We got the sub way down to the financial district and jump on the Stanton Island ferry. It is a free service that links Manhattan with Stanton island. There was a bit of a rumble trying to get to the top deck and get on the right side as you passed by Statue of Liberty. Once we arrived on the island we turn straight around and returned to Manhattan. Grabbed a sandwich and sat in Battery park watching the squirrels.
Bel decided to duck into Century 21. This is basically a multilevel discount department store. Grabbed some MORE stuff and we headed home on a VERY VERY packed rush hour train.
Tuesday night we had decided to have a quiet night in but ended up on the upper east side at a Pizza place called Bettola (highly recommend it). Lovely neighbourhood, very suburban feel of young families and young professional couples. Food was quite good too. Finished up with a stroll down to the river and had one last beer at the Boat Basin Cafe unfortunately Samuel Adams Beer was not to our taste but the only thing left at that hour of night!
