Yesterday we successfully navigated the New Jersey Transit System. We took the train from Dover into Penn Station, caught a cab to a Starbucks near Central Park and waited for our Pedi-Cab driver to pick us up. It was a wonderful tour of some of the sights of Central Park. There were so many movie references, I couldn’t keep up with them all. We saw places where many movies were filmed including Elf, Serendipity, Enchanted, and so many more. We highly recommend this tour. Shakespeare in the Park is going on right now, a free production and people stand in line to get a chance at a seat. Seats are given out randomly, so you could be first in line and get a seat in the back. But it’s very popular.
After Central Park we headed to Radio City Music Hall, Times Square and Broadway. We continued our walk through the city to reach our scheduled time for the Empire State Building. It was not what I expected, but enjoyable just the same.
It was very windy on the 86th floor. We didn’t go to the top. We walked around the outside and I took pictures from each direction. Afterwards we searched for a place to eat nearby and found Jack Dempsey’s Pub. We enjoyed listening to our Irish waiter get excited over a golf game.
It was time to head back to the train station and journey back New Jersey. It takes 1 1/2 hours each way to travel but taking the truck into the city is a nightmare waiting to happen. It was a good day in New York City. My first time there.
