Whenever I discover some of these buildings here in New York City I just feel like I've
been transported back in time. You see this in all the old historical movies all these old locations
and it just seems surreal to see it in person. People from the east coast maybe this is old news,
but it's so different from where we live. So we'll see if we can catch it- but people actually walk
across these are levels at the station and I've seen people walking across there
I fell asleep at like maybe 8:30 last night and some of my family members got up and went out
kind of late looking for food and I just slept right through it I was completely exhausted
so um we're a little bit off schedule but I came up this morning we got some delicious
cheesecake we found a bakery in the grand central station terminal -a beautiful facility
and what was the name of the bakery called? Magnolia Bakery New York City
and got some delicious cheesecake and ate it sitting outside around Bryant Park
and now we're gonna go hook up with the rest of the family back to the hotel I have no idea what
we're gonna do today we'll have to discuss it with the fam and figure out what's next
So when I travel I'm always looking for a public restroom and let me tell you the restrooms
at the bryant park park are the most amazing public restrooms I've ever seen!
There are attendants that work it, there's classical music ,
fresh flowers, beautiful tile, I'm telling you it's worth a stop just to see that
Federal Hall National Memorial
wow so we just came down here to see wall street and we had no idea that federal hall was down here
in 1789 George Washington took the oath of
office in this location in new york city that is super cool
So this street dates back to the 1600s wall street came for its name of a wall of logs
that was along here to protect the area when it was considered New Amsterdam I had no idea
how far this area goes back that is really cool and the bricks the streets are still bricklined
So my daughter just caught the fact that this portion of the street just lifted up it I guess
it's the road version of a drawbridge let's go see it all right we're gonna go check it out so
this doesn't make a lot of sense but i guess they're just blocking traffic from going by
so yesterday when we left the statue of liberty we got on the subway at the bowling green stop
and had no idea that the charging bull for wall street was right here so if you
see the bowling green subway stop just walk a little bit north of the little green park area
and that's where you'll find it you can get your picture with the bull's butt right here
that's funny why anyone would want the picture in the butt of the charging bull
i don't know so wall street isn't anything like i thought it was going to be i was expecting the
buildings with all the ticker signs from the stock exchange and that was not the case the new york
stock exchange is that one beautiful building and there's that historical spot at the federal hall
but apparently the signs that i'm used to seeing with all the stock tickers is near times square
and i think we passed it and i didn't know what i was passing
so that was a surprise and we're going to venture in the world's largest store
to macy's here in new york city
this store has an entire level dedicated to shoes the entire second floor if you can believe that
i think it's like a whole block
yeah there's a line if you want to see louis vuitton get in his store you got to wait your turn
time for dan to leave us
i'm gonna find his train at penn stations we walked around with our son to find his
train now we're from the west where we don't usually use train travel
so was a bit confusing and we realized that the long island railroad is something different from
amtrak so that's something to keep in mind if you're not used to using the trains around here
we wish our son luck it's always tough to say goodbye
madison square garden was right next door to penn station and let me tell
you this area of town was really really crowded
i'm guessing this is my first time out during rush hour but the hustle and bustle is way
more heavy right now than what we saw earlier in the week
after doing some shopping we were on the hunt for our public restroom again which brought us
to the fairway grocery store which is a beautiful phenomenal grocery store here in new york city
with public restrooms
it has fresh sushi it has lots of ready-made
sandwiches and food and pasta and cheese oh my god look at the cheese
look at the olives
this whole section smells like parmesan it's not so good
at this cute little new york pd smart car oh my god that is so cute oh wait
because you know i'm still pretty new at these youtube videos and i find that by the end of my
travel day i am so exhausted i don't take the time to stop and say something to the camera to
close out the day so just want to say thank you so much for watching if you made it to the end
