New York, New York, It's A Hell Of A Town!

On my second day in N.Y.C. I visited the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue Of Liberty, and The Financial District. All in all a very busy day for me!
 Thanks to our City Passes, we managed o save quite a large amount of money on the sights. Included, were tickets for Statue Of Liberty, Top Of The Rock, Empire State Building 86th Floor Observatory, Entrance to Several Museums, Including The Museum Of Natural History, and M.O.M.A.
All in all a pretty sweet deal for only Eighty Bucks....American no less!
 The iconic Statue Of Liberty.
 Some people have way too much money, and naturally many of them live in New York! This is somebodies private yacht in the Hudson.
 More Statue, this time head on.
 Lady Liberty appearing rather stoic overlooking the Financial District.
 Empire State Building, from Liberty Island, looking very smoggy here....
 One World Trade Building, better known by it's Nickname, The Freedom Tower, also Taken from Liberty Island. Now nearly eighty floors high with glass up to the 50th floor.
 Me and the Manhattan Skyline.
 The Manhattan Skyline, with the Empire State Building visible on the left hand side and the Brooklyn Bridge on the right hand side. Dead-centre is the Financial Area again.
 Closer View.
 Me and Miss Liberty.



 Yeah, that's right I know where the money comes from! 
Brooklyn from The Brooklyn Bridge, on the left hand side is the Manhattan Bridge.
 

 Manhattan From the Bridge.
 Law & Order much?
This is the Manhattan Courthouse  but better known to Non-New Yorkers as the Courthouse that is used in Law & Order.
Better shot of The Courthouse. Donk Donk!

New York, New York.

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothin' you can't do! 
Just got back from the city that never sleeps the real N.Y! I've been there before and ill be back again for sure! Amazing place. There`s so much to do and so many places to go, it really is a city that demands more than one trip to see it all! Luckily I've already had a trip there and just had to brush up on some of the stuff I missed last time, or enjoyed so much that it garnered a second visit. But Before that I spent the day in Toronto prior to boarding an overnight bus.

 A very obvious foreshadowing of my trip, this painting of the Manhattan skyline was posted in a cafe where I ate lunch before going into Toronto to board the bus to New York.

 My last glimpse of the C.N. tower before going.
 The Toronto Financial District Skyline.

 Shake Shack, Nom nom nom *eating sounds*, Certainly much better than awful McDonalds.....What's Shakin'? Double Cheese Burger and an order Of Cheesy Fries, I think So!
 Me enjoying my delicious hamburger.
 Americans, especially New Yorkers are very patriotic.
