Woke up early courtesy of jetlag and started the day by heading up the Rockerfeller Tower to check out the view of Manhatten. Overall it was very impressive with stunning views in beautiful crisp clear sky. You don't really think about how old some of the skyscrapers are, but it is an impressive achievements.
After this we headed to the bottom of manhatten to check out the statue of liberty, wall street and ground zero. Having had the touristy fix we then headed to tribeca and soho. Found tribeca rather disappointing/frustrating, I was expecting lots of nice boutiques, interesting cafes etc but it all seemed a bit dead and spread far and in between. Soho on the other hand lived up to my expectations, a mixture of upper end high street stores combined with one off boutiques on every street. The area had a bit of community vibe to it and loads of people were on the streets. Sitting in this lovely bakery/cafe it almost paresian. The architecture was very interesting and I would love to see inside a soho flat.
