Dressed Up for the Subway
Our first morning on the way to the NYSE.Today was our Wall Street day. We arrived in lower Manhattan and met up at the NYSE. It was a short wait to get into the Exchange and then everyone had to be ID'ed and photographed. LOTS of security post 911! We had an interesting introduction to the stock market. Many of the students shared their Economics experience with their virtual stocks. My uncle was interested in how each student was doing with their market shares and counseled them to stick with products they know.
On to a quick visit to Trinity Church and then lunch at Delmonico's -- which prides itself in being the first "restaurant" in the country.
A crowded ride on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Beautiful day! Sunny and warm. Lady Liberty was equally beautiful. Students endured 2 security checks and made the climb up the stairs to the pedestal. Lovely views.
The afternoon brought us back to the city. Hotdogs from street vendors for dinner. Then uptown to see "The Miracle Worker" at Circle in the Square theater. We had great seats, nearly on the stage. The production was done in the "round". All the set pieces were suspended from the
NYSE
The Visitors Gallery ceiling and lowered as they were needed. A powerful performance for our first Broadway experience.
Last, we visited Times Square at night. It was full of hustle, bustle and characters. The evening ended with a search for good ice-cream at a 42nd Street Cold Stone. Yum.
