New York Trip - Day 7 - Tuesday

---

New York Trip Day 7- Tuesday - December 27 - Having a slow start of it today. Today will make a short day of it and just visit the Met. That should be plenty from what I have read about its size.

Going to be a balmy 56 degrees with rain showers this afternoon.

Well its after 11 so I guess I had better get dressed and head downstairs before they take the coffee up.

Tuesday 4:45 PM

Back in my room changing my wet coat and shirt for a dry raincoat and shirt. The line was a tad long just getting into the Met ( and that was just the line outside), so I decided I would save that gem for my next trip here. I actually found a shorter line on the other side but decided it would be too crowded anyway and I will do it on my next trip to New York.

So I moved on to the next item on my list which was to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn side back towards Manhattan. I took the Q train to Brooklyn which was a mistake because it turned out to be an express and I could not get off till I got to DeKalb Ave in Brooklyn so I had to get off and figure a way back which was taking the R train to Jay Street Station, and getting on the A train to High Street Station which is near the Bridge. From there I figured out in the rain how to get to the bridge and then “up on” the bridge by a not very well marked stairway. So I walked over the bridge from the Brooklyn side back to Manhatten. It sure would have been a good view if the weather was better.



While I was exploring Amsterdam Avenue yesterday I found a couple of Irish Pubs just around the corner from 79^th street. Think I will ease over there and have a pint and something to eat.

Long line waiting to get in. I figure I will come back when it is less crowded.

The weather
You certainly are experiencing unseasonable weather for NYC at Christmas. Good for you.

Yes, the weather was pretty good albeit a bit cold for a Texan. I'm glad I had some warm gloves to wear. I'm considering going back in February and hopefully get some snow.
