Sailed into New York, docked at Manhattan pier 90 which is level with 50th St in Midtown so fairly easy to get around. Had loads of plans, too many to come to fruition.
Met up with Kathy, a friend of ours who lives in Connecticut. We used the MTA buses & subway, which like London you use with a contactless card for $2.50 and free transfer to another line. All good, also found & used the express subway that bypasses loads of stations. Went downtown to World Trade Site to see it now it's complete. Very crowded with tourists but a nice area now.
Had lunch in Fraunces Tavern, the oldest pub in New York. It's got rooms where George Washington planned his campaign & is the site where negotiations take place at the end of the revolutionary war. It was October Fest and it had to be bratwurst and German style lager.
Lot's of Marijuana being smoked, so pretty smelly everywhere.
