New York Part 2

So Gwen and I returned to New York last weekend on the night bus. We reached New York at 4:00 AM, but this time we knew where we were and hit an all night diner with decent coffee and we had a hotel room where we could drop off our luggage.

Sights Seen:
  1. Empire State Building
  2. NYC Public Library
  3. Broadway Show-Mary Poppins
  4. Chrysler Building
  5. Brooklyn Bridge
  6. Brooklyn Botanical Gardens
  7. Second hit at Sumile Sushi - Best Sushi ever!
  8. Magnolia Bakery
Suggestions:
  1. Do not try to walk to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (take the subway). Unlike Manhattan there is nothing going on in Brooklyn
  2. Purchase Broadway tickets at the Boxoffice, its cheaper and better.
  3. Magnolia Bakery is awesome, but going on Sunday before we returned served two purposes: (1) Shorter lines then Saturday. (2) Gave us something to do on the bus
  4. In general you have to show up at the terminal early to catch your bus. If you show up at the bus terminal early, you might catch an earlier bus, even if your tickets are not transferable
