Shopping was as good as shopping gets! The Soho District was loaded with popular stores and little hidden boutiques. We had to be careful to not get lost in it all! We toured New York on board double decker buses, great way to go! Our adventure was non-stop. People aren’t kidding when they say it’s the city that never sleeps! Times Square is the classic city movie scene, flashing lights, crowded sidewalks, and lots of honking taxis. No matter what time of day it is, there’s always people out and about. This is definitely the heart of the city. Grand Central Station is an underground city. It is lined with chandeliers and the artwork painted on the ceilings is beautiful! If you ignore the Apple Store in the corner, you might almost feel you travelled back in time to the 40’s and 50’s. We went to the top of the Empire State building at night! We walked up 5 flights of stairs and stood in two long lines at the elevators. It was worth the wait! The view of the twinkling city lights that filled the skyline was truly breathtaking, we’ve never seen such a beautiful sight.
