This past week had been a lot of fun for KC, Matmat and me (as evidenced by the pictures here). I just want to list down where we went day by day just to have an account of the trip.
Day 1 - Sept 25
Train No. 7 to Grand Central Station
Walked along 42nd St to 5th Ave
Saw the New York Public Library, Empire State Building
Went to Rockefeller Center and went up to the Top of the Rock
Walked along 5th Ave for shopping until we reached the corner of 59th St
Walked to Time Square
Took the No. 7 train back to the hotel

Saw Ground Zero
Saw the New York Stock Exchange
Took No. 2 to Pellham Parkway in the Bronx
Took No. 2 back to Time Square (45min)
Watched Beauty and the Beast in Broadway (Wow!)
Took No. 2 back to the Bronx to fetch Matmat
Drove from the Bronx to the hotel (in Queens)
(Whew!)

Day 6 - Sept 30
Tomorrow
Be back for updates
A week in New York is just about right considering just visiting the top tourist attractions here. But for a more in depth tour and sightseeing and immersing in the whole New York experience, 2-3 weeks is probably just about right.
