21 April 2019 - Easter Sunday in New York

With the promise of good weather today we decided to take the subway to Brooklyn on the other side of the East River. Thirty minutes later we were having brunch in the Brooklyn Heights Wine Bar which turned out to be a very good choice. Then we walked down to the the area called DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) which is essentially an open area right on the water with parks, restaurants even an old fashioned carousel. From here we gained fabulous views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn bridge.
We spent a bit of time here taking photos and video and just enjoying the wonderful views and the great atmosphere.
Eventually it was time to return to Manhattan and we started our walk across the Brooklyn Bridge which is very busy.
It is absolutely chaos with lots of pedestrians and lots of people on bikes. It is fairly difficult to even photograph the bridge because of all the people but with a bit of patience it can be done.
After our long trek back the hotel it was time for a bit of a rest, for me anyway, Mark went on a 10km run around Central Park. This evening we decided to catch the lights in Times Square, which as always was also extremely crowded.
We stayed here just long enough to get photos and videos of the coloured lights and then walked all the way back to our hotel. Tomorrow is our last full day in New York and on Tuesday we catch the train to Washington DC.
