.Day Three- Friday 7th Jan.

This morning we took the subway from Grand Central Station down town to the borough of Tribeca, from here we took a snowy ferry to Staten Island and back, while viewing the Statue of Liberty which was another exciting adventure! Unfortunately it was snowing like crazy and the photos came out a bit blurry but we were still able to view the statue which was the main experience.

After, we walked to Liberty Street on Broadway Avenue and visited ground zero…where the twin towers used to be, which with that in mind was incredibly eerie. We then took a tour around the tribute memorial museum, the museum was actually really depressing and the videos and photos were upsetting, the overall experience was worthwhile however as it was interesting to learn about the event in depth.

Too lighten our moods we headed to Century 21- not knowing what to expect I was shocked, it was a huge jumble sale, the busiest shop I have ever been in, the customers were almost out of control searching and scavenging for any hidden designer treasures within the mess of hundreds of abandoned clothes.

Lunch time was spent in a small NY café off Broadway Avenue and a tuna melt and muffin was on the table. Soho was are next target location and we came across stores such as; Urban Outfitters, Prada, Free People, Chanel, Dash, Topshop, Old Navy and Barney’s Co-op. My favourite store in Soho was however Bloomingdales! and I enjoyed browsing around the luxurious beauty department. From Bloomingdales I purchased the famous Bloomingdales ‘Brown Bag’ for me and one to give to my mum, which I was very pleased with!

We also went to the Prada store which is massive and the in store environment was incredible, the decoration and layout of the store was amazing to view. They had these huge Picture frames the size of me and they were filled with Prada manikins and Prada items and large suitcase trunks full of Prada handbags. The store even had a circular glass lift inside which was very cool to use when visiting the store, here are some photos below…
