One of my favorite nice day activities in NY is a walk across the historic Brooklyn bridge to the tiny neighbourhood under the bridge. From City Hall in lower Manhattan you can stroll, skate or bike across the wood-planked pedestrian walkway in the middle of the bridge. It's longer and steeper than it looks, but the beautiful views of the East river and NY Harbor are worth it. At the end, reward yourself with Grimaldi's pizza (NY's best) and a creamy Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory cone on the pier. Take the cute water taxi back if you are too full to walk!

This place take you back in time. Its amazing that a place like this still exists in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world. New York is known for being the leader of new trends. But we also forget that it has been around for over 250 years. This restaurant was establish in 1762 and still has so much charm. I stumble across this place just wondering around Manhattan looking for lunch. I saw this building that said it was a museum and oddly it had a menu by the door. Thats interesting and different. It sure did catch my attention. The restaurant was filled mainly with business lunch goers. Mainly in suits. The looked like they worked at Wall St or Lawyers. There were a hand full of people that looked like they were tourist or Birthday goers.

They have $22 Prix fixe lunch menu selection that day or you can order off the lunch menu. I decided to do the Prix fixe menu. The first course I got was a house salad and some ice tea to go along with it. It was pretty good. The 2nd course I got was the fish and chips which was pretty tasty. Then I got a slice of apple pie and some ice cream for desert. The food was good. But the experience was exceptional. The weight staff was very friendly and prompt. I defiantly would love to stop in again. Maybe this time take a look at the museum attach to the restaurant.

The sight of the new World Trade Center, called The Freedom Tower, is being built right now! Directly across the street on the east side of the site, is a very peaceful place of solace, St. Paul's Chapel. It was a place of rest and refuge for many of the recovery workers after the horrific attacks of 9/11/01.
