From the New Jersey side, what makes this picture poignant is not what you see, but the two buildings that you can never see again.
A nearby memorial honoring the victims of the barbaric attack on that fateful day gives us an idea of how imposing the buildings were.
At the entrance to the Trinity Church in Manhattan is this interesting plaque commemorating the visit of Queen Elizabeth II. Notice how, for once, the man has been relegated to an incidental role!
Walking around NY, you get to come across some iconic locations, like this one that marks the collision of the discrete worlds of Art and Commerce.
Lunch was had at an obscure restaurant in the North-side of town where the food was just as appetizing as it looked.
What trip to NY would be complete without a picture of the Empire State Building?
But, to me, the most recognizable symbol of the City That Never Sleeps is this: the ubiquitous Yellow Taxicab.
All that walking around would wear anyone down, so I put the zzzz's in vacation by stealing a quick nap in Central Park.
