Yeah, I'm tired.We hopped on the subway and made our way down to Grand Central Station.
Gabe and DC waiting for the next train.
The Grand Central subway stop.This beautiful, large and impressive Grand Central Station building has been used very successfully by Brian DePalma for both The Untouchables and Carlito's Way. You walk into a building like that and quickly realize we no longer consider buildings as an art form. This building is a work of art.

Madison Square Garden
The impressive U.S. Post Office.
The Empire State Building
Can you guess where we are?That's right!
The American Stock Exchange.
Flat Iron Buildingused in Spiderman.
We tried to take in so many iconic and well-known locations. It was stunning to turn the corner and find, one after another, places we had seen on television numerous times during our lives.
Our weary feet continued our tour of this massive, memorable city, leading us toward the saddened ground known as Ground Zero...

When I visited Grand Central, I was in awe...not only of the architecture/art, but of the mass of people moving from here to there and everywhere. With all those people moving, they somehow manage to not bump into each other. I sat against one of the walls and took a short video on my digital camera of everyone's feet moving about.
I'm so glad you took the kids on this trip! Can't wait to hear about your reactions to Ground Zero. I was taken aback by how monstrous the gap was.
Grand Central is amazing. They simply won't and don't make buildings as art like that anymore. Sad, really.
And, yes, GZ was a very big hole. I'm surprised, actually, that some seven years later there's still a big hole there.
