We knew it was easy and
inexpensive to visit New York from Port Washington, so we caught the Long
Island railway into Manhattan, Amanda was keen to visit Tiffanys as she had
never been and like a lot of woman she loves sparkly things J We also enjoyed a visit to the FAO toyshop, this
features the floor piano in the 80s film “Big" unfortunately if you want to play
you have to pay. They also had an
amazing sweet shop but we resisted.
Our final New
York day was to experience something we had not done before and we
caught the subway out to the Bronx Zoo, this is about 10x bigger than the Central Park zoo and was a really great day out, again we
were lucky with the weather it was a stunning day. The Zoo has some really cool enclosures this
included various Tigers, Bears (both Grizzly and brown) lots of different
primates, a large population of Gorillas, various herds of deer, various bird
habitats, sea lions, penguins. We really
enjoyed the day but it was worth looking into before going, as on a Wednesday
you can either donate to go into the basic park or you pay $16.95 for a
tickets which gives you access to everything, some exhibits like the
Rainforest, the Gorillas cost extra, so you could pay $5 just to enter one of
these, so best to visit on a Wednesday.
