Manhattan

Our marina is in Jersey City which is directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan. There are an endless number of things to do in Manhattan and we have been on the run all day every day to do and see as many things as we can. We have used the subway and the ferry for the last week to get around and it has worked out very well. We have found the subways to be a clean and safe way to get around New York, in fact, there are very few places that we wanted to go that the subway didn't work for us. Times Square, Empire State Building, World Trade Center, Yankee Stadium, Rockefeller Center, and many more were just a short walk from a subway. One of our high lights was getting VIP access to Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series in Central Park staring Miranda Lambert. We got up at 3:30 AM on Friday to go to the regular GMA show and because we were near the front of the audience group, it was a "right time" in the "right place" kind of thing that we got on the VIP list. We were front row and standing with all the GMA stars through most of the concert on Saturday.
