We stayed at Trump Int'l Hotel at Columbus circle on South Central Park |
A view from our room across central Park |
A view out of our room looking at South Central Park |

We took a walk from 59th street up to ~70th street enjoying the spring air in central park |

Then we snapped a few pictures of Times Square as taxis had me in their crosshairs |

We had dinner at Sardi's... |

After visiting battery park we walked up to where the Trade center was. In front of the 3 buildings is where World Trade Center buildings 1 & 2 once stood |
The 4 story craters... |

We then walked over to Little Italy through China town |
To end the day we had pre-dinner drinks at Da Silvano's in Greenwich Village prior to our dinner at Churrascaria Plataforma in Tribeca. |
