Statues of Liberty

Pier 17, South St Seaport, New York, NY

You can buy these souvenirs all over NYC.  Funny how all the likenesses are different.  None of these faces exactly match the real thing.  

Real Beer

South St Seaport, New York, NY

We stopped here for a very light lunch, knowing that later in the afternoon, we'd have a much larger traditional NYC "Steakhouse" dinner.  I enjoy going to brewpubs and sampling their beers, but it was still a little early in the day for me to be sampling their entire line of beers so I only had a pint of their Red Rooster Ale.  They serve great burgers along with great beer.  I'll definitely go back.

Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn Bridge

We took a trip into New York City today to visit the South St Seaport.  It's an historic area with lots of old buildings, some tall ships, and a couple of other historic vessels.  There are some great views of the Brooklyn Bridge, one of which is shown here.  Unfortunately the weather was pretty gray and gloomy with some light rain. Pictures have a hard time capturing the magnificence of this New York icon.
