New York City: Day Five

THANK GOODNESS the state of New York decided to pay to keep the Statue of Liberty open while the government is shutdown! I have always seen the Lady from Battery Park...it was an incredible experience to ride the ferry to her island with so many people from all over the world.

One World Trade Center standing 1176 feet above the city

This is the original torch that welcomed hundreds of thousands of immigrants to the New World.

The view of Manhattan's financial district from the statue's pedestal!

The view of the statue from the statue's pedestal haha

Ya know just trying to be the next Lady Liberty!

Trinity Church in the Financial District

World Trade Center Memorial... speechless

South Tower Memorial

North Tower Memorial, the way the water falls... goodness it gave me chills

We took the A train from Ground Zero to the Chelsea Market for lunch. We went there earlier on our trip but I actually took pictures today:)

Afterwards... we headed to Tiffany's on Fifth Avenue to look at sparkly things. Lets just say we weren't disappointed! 

Tonight we went to eat at Penelope's on 30th and Lexington, it was delicious, highly recommended.  Then we headed to Times Square with my cousin Ann who is living in the city but hasn't seen it yet!

Goodnight one last time from the city that never sleeps! Headin' back to Raleigh in the morning {cue Wagon Wheel}

New York City: Day Three

On our third day in the City, Katie {my friend we are staying with} walked us around West Village, Meat Packing District, Chelsea and SoHo. We took the 6 train downtown to 14th street Union Station and from there we walked to Washington Square Park.

This park is so beautiful and has been featured in many movies... It is surrounded by NYU's campus and it is where we saw the first glimpse of One World Trade Center.

West Village is a beautiful walk...There were so many dog boutiques that even had puppies for sale in the window!

The High Line is incredible and a must see if you visit lower Manhattan. It is an old railway that was recreated into an above ground park! It is a beautiful place to stroll on a pretty day.

Love these girls!

When we left the High Line we headed to Chelsea Market... Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures because I was to busy smelling all the INCREDIBLY amazing fresh food smells. They had fresh cheeses, breads, pasta, spices, cupcakes, seafood, donuts and the list could just go on and on.  After we left the market we headed to SoHo to do some shopping! Emily and I both had saved up for one expensive item on the trip... hers at Kate Spade and mine at Frye or Tory Burch.

The boots were all so gorgeous... it was a hard decision to walk away. C Wonder is also such a fun store, full of pink, green, gold and monograms... can't go wrong with that!

I ended up investing in a pair of black and gold Tory Burch flats! I decided they would be more worth while than another pair of boots:) and Emily purchased a beautiful gold bow ring from Kate Spade.

We celebrated with a HUGEE piece of pumpkin spice cake with maple cream cheese frosting {devoured it to quickly to take a picture}... hoping to visit the Little Cupcake Bakeshop again before we leave!

Katie took us to a delicious restaurant for dinner, The Smith. It was such a southern comfort food place... Em and I split fried green beans and a massive chicken pot pie. Also if that doesn't sell this place... they have a photo-booth downstairs... yep perfect restaurant.
