If I had to pick a day, day 2 of being in the big apple was probably my favourite.
After a decent (ish) sleep, and the whole "getting over jet lag" thing, I felt ready and energized for the day (beside the fact that I'm always full of energy..)!
We started our day with a boat cruise around Manhattan which was absolutely amazing!! I'm a sucker for a nice view, and skylines are my favourite thing in the world, so get to f to take in the city from a boat, took my breath away!

This view of this city is just so amazing! The different parts of Manhattan have slightly different styles of buildings, the new world trade center is visible, and there is still a space in this beautiful skyline where the 2 original twin towers used to stand. Across the water is the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island, where all the immigrants would come to enter the United States (this is where they would wait be accepted into the country, or declined and sent back to their homes in other countries..so it was a very bitter sweet place at the time.)
After our boat cruise, we made our way to the 9/11 memorial sight which is absolutely beautiful.
The first time I had been to New York was in 2006. At this time, the sight of 9/11 was fenced off, there was lots of rubble, and a huge iron cross in the center of the grounds to memorialize the event. Now, being my 3rd time back in New York, it was amazing to see the memorial sight a beautiful place to be to remember and reflect. There are two 30 foot deep pools where the foundations of the original towers stood, and the names of all the lives lost are engraved into the sides of these pools.

Our tour guides then brought us to this beautiful place called century 21 (not tbe real estate company). It's basically Winners on steroids. So for all you Winners lovers (like myself), you need to get on a plane to New York (not a red eye.....) and see this department store for yourself! All designer brands, all discounted. Nuff said.
We spent the rest of our day in a little place called heaven. Aka SOHO (which actually stands for south of Houston). SOHO is where all the good, designer brand shopping is at! And of course, I had to visit my home girl Kate Spade........
