Night Tour - City Sights New York
abc News
Manhattan
New York City
New York's only double decker night tour that stops at the historic Brooklyn Fulton Ferry Landing to view and photograph the glittering Manhattan skyline.
Enjoy views of Times Square, Chinatown, Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy, Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Lower East Side and more...
The Brooklyn tour was awesome, I saw lower Manhattan and how people live in Brooklyn then returning over the Brooklyn Bridge and then returned to Manhattan driving past Ground Zero and up through Greenwich Village and back to Times Square to finish off the Tour.
After a long day I return home and was asleep by midnight.

Ground Zero - World Trade Center, New York
Wall Street and the bustling financial district is a lovely place to wander. In this particular area you are walking down the street, the shade of the skyscrapers all around you, until suddenly the sunlight pours into a vast empty space where the twin towers once stood. It's impossible to imagine how they once stood there, now it looks like any other building site, only your blood runs cold when you think of what actually happened there.
Ground Zero
To be honest there isn't much to see. It was probably more to see when there was all the rubble but they've done a great job getting rid of it. It was still very sombre.
Chinatown, New York
Chinatown at Canal Street.
Finding my way back, I managed to get to Chinatown and ended up walking the rest figuring I was close enough. Along the way I came across the World Trade Center site, a massive hole although now filled with construction crews and machinery but a strangely still place, the full scale of which only really apparent on staring down into it.
At about 6 pm, I decided to walk back to catch the subway when I was stopped by a couple who was trying to get to Little Italy. Fortunately I was there few days ago so I was able to tell them how to get there.

On Top Of Brooklyn Bridge, New York
I hopped over to the Brooklyn Bridge to take a wander over it to Brooklyn also getting my first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty out in the bay near the far side. The sun was just setting at this point giving me a great view back towards Manhattan from the riverside in Brooklyn taking in the famous view looking even more brilliant as night fell.
