Manhattan

This was a trip into Manhattan I made with my daughter and her good friend in November 2012. We actually went in one day just to check out Pratt school of design in Brooklyn and then again to the Beacon theater one night to see Grace Potter and have dinner. We had a blast!

Moira, on that cold day down by the water.

Who could forget?

The old train station and Liberty State Park where you can take the ferry across to Ellis Island. This station closed down in 1968. All the local trains from Pa. and Jersey would 'dead head' here and then the commuters would pile onto the ferries and head across the river to lower Manhattan. My great Grandfather was station master here at one point.

Not sure what this is. It was just off Jersey City.

Heading toward the Brooklyn Bridge along the water.

A better shot of the train and Ferry station from Manhattan.

The old broad guarding the harbor as Frank Sinatra would say.

Winter sky through the willows.

Moira and Leah, wow, what a chilly day that was.

The sign says it all.

Just outside the Pratt Institute, we stopped for a little photo shoot.

Just outside the little restaurant we stopped at for lunch.
