Grateful Day.

Seriously, what a nice day.
We decided to visit the South Street Seaport today. It's nice to stay close to the water in this beautiful weather. Even though as I guessed 4 and 5 trains are not running right, and we had to transfer twice. Anyhow, I've been here only once, it was a cold winter day. This whole area is turned into a big shopping attraction for tourist. All the fish market has closed down and moved to the Bronx. There are many yellow taxi boats to take to you the other side, under the Brooklyn bridge. I was pretty overwhelmed by how many people there were. We bought our lunch in Sunnyside at our favorite Irish joint. The view is great, here is my attempt of semi-panoramic view by my digital camera.

I was getting pretty dizzy. Endless stores, endless tourists and their families, what a Saturday that was. When you go there, you feel like you are on vacation. It's very relaxed and festive. We walked up to Union Square from there, it was a long walk. By the time you know it was getting pretty dark. Then we decided to go back down to St. Marks Place to eat something at JAS Mart. It was a long day, but a nice day to walk around.
