3 weeks after getting back from NZ, we decided it was about time for another holiday... roll on Easter in New York! We had heard a lot of good things about New York & it didnt dissapoint. We had 5 nights in the big apple & it was non stop action from day 1. Manhattan apparently has 200,000 people per square mile- the most in the world. We were staying right in the core of the big apple in times square which proved the theory above correct!
Above- the view from the free Staton Island ferry of the statue of liberty.
Above- ground zero, not a lot to look at yet, I think it is due to be finished sometime in 2012
Above- The great Madison Square Garden of which I went on a tour off & took in all the great sporting history that the pkace had to offer, oh & also met one of the NY Knicks cheerleaders. Whilst I was abosbing my sporting Nirvana Nadia was doing her own tour of sorts ... in the womens fasion section of Macy's department store!
Above- Inside 'the garden' unfortunately being Easter basketball had not started & the NY ranngers ice hockey team were away so I had to settle for views from the skybox of the travelling circus.
We didnt see David Letterman kicking round in our travels but I guess there was always that potential.

The Staten island ferry runs every 15minutes and is FREE on your travels you get a magnificent view of the statue of liberty, a must do in New York.
Above- Times square, where we were staying it was heaving with people 24 hours a day. The building in the middle has been empty for a number of years with the revenue for its upkeep coming purely from company advertising on the side of its building.
