I arrived in New York via JFK airport and will only be here for a few days. I've decided to kind of take some pictures along the way and share them with the community. I arrived in the evening yesterday and took the metro on into the financial district where my hotel was located at. This was the scene I saw when I got off the metro.

I forgot how impressive the world trade centers are. It's been 5 years or around there since I was in New York. It was still under construction when I was last here. And I was glad America was able to overcome one of it's large wounds.

Here are just a few random pictures I liked while walking around.

Eventually, I made my way into the hotel room where I placed my stuff down and greeted my family. Then we went to a historical restaurant to eat dinner.



We went to fraunces tavern. This is a unique restaurant because George Washington gave his farewell speech to his troops here. It was an interesting speech and well worth the read. My family and I read it while waiting for dinner. You can read it here

Then we waited for our food for a while. It was very very crowded when we arrived. Last time I was at this same restaurant there was no one eating there, it was a very different experience. But you can tell the restaurant is very historical because there are pictures of George Washington hanging around. And my family and I happen to sit below where George Washington gave his speech. The long room (where the speech happened) is now turned into a museum and is above the main dinning area.

Then after eating my brother and I decided to go around the financial district a little and take some more pictures.

Obviously we had to see the New York Stock Exchange.

And we dropped by the Brooklyn bridge.

But shortly after that it got super windy and cold so we decided to head in for the night. Overall, I was glad to be in New York again. But also glad to be in bed and sleeping - jet lag hits me hard.
