Last Day in New York

Today we stopped at Hook and Ladder 8, otherwise known as Ghostbusters HQ, and took our picture. There wasn’t much else to do there so we went to the World Trade Centre Memorial. The site has been turned into two giant fountains where each of the towers used to be. There’s also a museum but we didn’t go inside.

Next we took the Ferry to Governor’s Island which was a nice place to mosey around and spend the rest of the day. We toured Castle Williams, an old fort and prison, ate ice cream, and lay in a hammock.

The kids played in two interesting playgrounds today, one on the island and one just next to the shore in Battery Park (where I am right now). William remarked that he wished the playgrounds at home were so interesting. I agree. The parks back home are cookie cutter generic compared to here.

Next we’re going to try and get dinner at Katz Deli, the restaurant featured in When Harry Met Sally. I only hope their smoke meat is as orgasmic as it seemed in the movie.
