8 September<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contary to the day before, it was extremely sunny… and I forgot to bring my sunglasses \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

We managed to do some last minute sightseeing at the Fashion District ( it was fashion week!!) , Wall street. And of course, Ground 0 – coincidentally it’s near the 10 years anniversary of 911, there were many media pple around. I’m not sure if it’s me or the atmosphere at Ground 0 was really solemn and everyone just have an air of sadness around them \ud83d\ude41 It was depressing. Even though 10 years had passed, memories were still very fresh<\/p>\n

\nI thought that the best part of our trip was Brooklyn Bridge. The view is spectacular. We walked the whole length of the bridge ( took about 1 hr) then took the train to Empire State Building<\/a>

\nI seriously think that the Empire state building (ESB) is overrated. I mean.. IF I were to choose 1 observation deck ( Top of the rock or ESB), I will choose Top of the Rock! To get up to ESB, we lined up for about 1 hr!!! It was very crowded and we needed to go thru’ security checks. When we finally got on the observation deck, it was flooded! I can’t even find a spot to stand! In the end, we lined up for 1 hr but observed the view for a mere 10-15mins? Horrible experience!<\/p>\n

The best part about ESB is Chipotle <\/a>which was right next to it… I simply love the naked burrito! haha… yummy!! I was telling BH that I could eat that everyday!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

After which we headed to the airport for our flight back to Seattle. We were extremely happy to be back… Seattle just feels right .. for us \ud83d\ude42 The journey back was only 4.5 hrs , even the pilot said that it was ‘record breaking’ .. haha.. amazing! <\/p>\n

Overall, I enjoyed this trip because NYC is really a nice place , take away the crowds, the litter and the rude pple. haha…Bh did a very good job in navigating this time – I’m happy with his tour. heh… he booked tix way in advanced and planned the route. I think we didn’t get lost ( though the subways are kinda confusing at times) I think I’m done with NYC for now… I’m really looking forward for our next major trip next yr… which we booked already!!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
