A 2 day long hectic trip to NY city started very early morning of 21 April. Lucky Star Bus started from Boston at 6.30 AM & reached Manhattan Chinatown at around 11 AM. Then we took our lunch to McDonalds, bought subway tickets to Battery Park for availing ferry to the Statue Island. It was a long long que (both for buying tickets & checking into the ferry). Several hours were lost in ques. But it was a sunny beautiful day; so lovely journey along the Hudson river. We got off at the island, circled the statue, took pictures & came back to South Ferry area of Manhattan by the next available ferry. Then we took on a bus which gave great scopes to all skyscrapper building on NY including the Zreo Ground. By bus we went to the Central Park; walked & took rest there till the evening. Then at around 7.45 PM, my Jahangirnagar University classmate Rana picked us & showed different important buildings, statues and more importantly the glazing Times Square of nighttime. It was superb! Then we headed towards Queens & went to Matin Khan's house there. We chatted for about half an hour & started again. On the way Rana took us to the Bengalipara of NY (Jackson Heights).
Then we're taken to Rana's house at Long Island ( about 1 hour drive from downtown). Ooh! Nahid, another classmate & Rana's wife (who loved for long 6 years of university life followed by marriage) cooked many time delicious fods. We ate, talked & then went to bed at midnight.
Next morning Rana & Nahid took us to the Walmart & afterwards Nahid took us to the Sunken Meadow seabeach of Atlantic Ocean. After the lunch again to her house, Nahid carried us to the Huntington train station for travel to NY city. We got off that commuter rail at Jamaica station & took subway to go to Canal Street of Manhattan area. From there we boarded on Fung Wah Chinese bus at 6 PM to come back to Boston. At around 11.30 PM we arrived home.
Spending a couple of hours at home we at 3.00 AM headed towards the Sullivan Square to get our son boarded to Manchester Airport Shuttle as he had to avail a flight from Manchester Regional Airport on his way to the 5 day long trip to Amarillo, Texas (to her aunt's home).
Trip to NY proved a little too short, but the weather was great & we enjoyed many key attractions of the city.
