A Few Bites of the Big Apple

Friday morning we disembarked the Zuidendam and caught our bus to our hotel that was booked by Holland America.  We are staying in the Hilton Midtown on 6th Avenue and 53rd Street. We are about six blocks south of Central Park in Manhattan.

We are just down the street from Radio City Music Hall.

We took a bus tour and saw many, many tall buildings that we will not try to identify.

This, however, is the Empire State Building from the bottom looking up.

We are close to Broadway.

This is the New York Library that has more books than any other library in the USA except for the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.  Note the sign on the right pillar.

Alexander Hamilton is buried in this cemetery.  We did not stop, but we saw his picture on a $10 bill. Ha!

This was a rich street.

This New York Federal Court House has been the site of many famous gangster trials.

This billboard showed us that you never know what you will see in New York City.

More on Central Park, Uptown, etc. tomorrow so come back for a look.
The weather is staying excellent.
