| We walked on into the city to find a coffee bar for a sandwich. We watched the traffic chaos as
the fire brigade turned up to a false alarm. |  |

The squirrels raid the garbage bins consuming anything we don't eat. They
have learnt to ignore the people. It was amazing to watch this one hanging

| The ornate spire of a
church complete with lights to create a display at night. |  |
 |
The gold roof on this building is quite striking but I've no idea which

| The most photographed
building in New York is the Flatiron building. It is fairly unique. |  |
 |
The detail is amazing and covers the whole building. |
| The rounded corners are
very typical of the 1930s art deco styles. |  |
 |
We walked down to Washington Park where there is an arch with these
sculptures on one side. |
| The arch is similar to
those you see in many European cities. |  |
 |
.An alternative form of transport where everybody works. |
| Another of those vertical
car parks slotted into a tiny space. |  |

Eventually there will be four towers at the World Trade Centre to replace
the two destroyed on 9/11. |
| It is not easy to see
much at the site because they are so security conscious. The second tower is
under construction. |  |
 |
But there are still artistic older buildings with significant decoration. |
| The PATH train home as we
change to go to Hoboken. |  |
