NY Trip Final day




For the 3rd & final day of NY trip, morning was free from the group activity. So I went to the Penn Station again. There the underground Amtrak train station cum shopping mall is huge. From the information booth I collected many info brochures, maps (so that it helps when next time I visit NY alone). From there I walked to the 42nd street (5-6 blocks from Penn Station) where all the bus cos ply from to different destinations.
After the check-out from the hotel at 11.45, we (the BU Humphrey Group) were taken to the Tavern Green Restaurant inside the Central Park of Manhattan. We're fascinated by the fabulous and artistic glass decorated designs of the whole restaruarnt and also the exclusive dining area. Also the food was awesome. Only problem it was so expensive (you need about 100 box to satisfy the tummy). Another thing to notice, most of the restaruarnt people ( those who're serving, taking order, etc.) are the immigrant Bangladeshis.
After a very satisfying lunch we wandered in the park area. All high rise buildings of NY's posh area surrounded the park. In the park, lots of fun all around. We saw some groups (mature people of different races) are dancing with skating. One white guy (around 50 years old) dancing with skatebaords attached with legs and 3 water bottles on his head (one atop of other)- still balancing himself.
At 3.45 we started back our journey and reached Boston by 8 pm. As a whole it was a memorable journey for us. Thanks to Hunphrey Program.
