New York: Day 3

Hi it's Polly again just doing quick intro about walking tour I talked Cara into doing today. We started in Chelsea and walked east a few blocks to the Flatiron building. From there we took a punt on a travel book tip to go to City Bakery (www.thecitybakery.com) on cnr 18th and 5th ave. The punt paid off and it was brilliant. Next we went south east to 1st ave and 6th ave to see some community gardens (www.6bc.org) and from there it was south again (our feet are starting to ache by now!) down thru Chinatown and onto Manhattan Bridge (which went forever!) over to Brooklyn. No idea how many k's we walked but would love to know! We did our first subway trip to get ourselves home ..... phew, home sweet home and put our feet up for well deserved rest!

Hi everyone, Cara here. Hope you are enjoying reading about our travels in New York so far - I'm loving it! So today was day 3, it was great and we did ALOT of walking as Polly has mentioned! Our first stop was The City Bakery. This place was really cool and well laid out with the most amazing and varied selection of tasty treats. It had an upstairs seating area overlooking the bakery store below so we could look down and watch people going about getting their breakfast and coffee. I had some delicious French toast! On the way out we both got a mini real hot chocolate, OMG it was amazing!!





After our yummy stop at the bakery we stopped to check out the Flat Iron Building. Wow!






Then we travelled on to explore some gorgeous city gardens, I loved this!


















The last garden we visited was the best, it was beautiful!





















After the dozens of photos I took of the gardens we then made our way down through China Town to walk the very long Manhattan bridge which I must say was a great thing to do! And yes by this time our feet and legs were getting quite sore!










Finally made it to the other side......Brooklyn at last! And got some more beautiful photos of Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge.











For dinner we enjoyed some amazing pizza before heading back to Chelsea on the subway. Pheww... What a long but great day, glad to be back at the apartment!
