Day Two (Thursday 16 October 2008) was a slightly unusual day, more for the surprises that the city unveiled throughout the day more than anything else.
I've always thought the only "proper" way that one can get to know a city, or indeed any new place, intimately is by walking through it. Yes, subways and buses are fine for convenience, but you don't quite get the same feel of a place with those transport mediums as you do when walking.
The day started reasonably late at just after midday, after a rather sleepless night - not assisted in any way shape or form by any influence of jet lag and/or first night "tensions" and/or the dorm being on a main road which is relatively "busy" throughout the night.
Having looked at the map, the walk down to the most southern tip of Manhattan appeared possible enough; however, despite the walking being (generally) just down one arrow-straight road, this eventually took up the best part of 7 hours.
However, on the way, the Lincoln Centre, Times Square amongst others were visited.
Followed by a meal.
