(Sorry oh faithful reader....this post didn't go through on Sunday, therefore I am posting it now. Should I have used a comma back there?)
Day 3 started out with some chilling at the hotel as it rained like crazy. Around 11 I ventured out and ended up in a Jewish portion of Brooklyn. As I walked i happened upon Brooklyn Chinatown which was incredible. Street vendors were everywhere. Being a Sunday I suspect that lots of people were doing their weekly shopping. I regret not taking a picture as it was quite a busy and awesome scene.
I then went back to the hotel briefly and decided to hit up the Spotted Pig so I walked up to Greenwich Village not before stopping to get a pedicure. Yes. A pedicure. With a massage. A foot massage and a back massage. And it was awesome. The Spotted Pig was, of course, mentioned in the “The Job” episode of the Office with Jim and Karen went to NYC early before their interview with Dunder Mifflin corporate.
After the ‘cure and the Pig I took a train to Grand Central Station. And wow. What a spot. That was my first time there and I felt like I was in a David Letterman show opening. Gorgeous building.
After a quick stop at Nike Soho(no purchases based on the prices I saw) I was on my way back to the hotel feeling pretty tired. As I walked past the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge walkway I couldn’t get away from walking that way. I was going to walk that Monday morning but I’m so glad I walked it when I did. It was tad bit on the chilly side but wow what a cool experience and one that TONS of people were taking part in. I then walked to the waterfront and took in some amazing scenery of lower Manhattan all the way up to Midtown.
Just over 15 miles later I was back in bed for one last night in lower Manhattan.
