South Street Seaport

Rosemarie did a pretty good job planning out the places she wanted to see and items to buy as she covered a lot in a short period of time. On my day off, all that was left was Ground Zero and the South Street Seaport. That worked out well because we also had a family dinner scheduled for 6pm in Flushing.

There wasn't much to see at Ground Zero as most of the area has been boarded up and reconstruction in the works, but still an essential as it's an important memorial. I thought we could take the Hoboken bound PATH train one stop to see the inside of the construction area, but that was blocked off as well. The South Street Seaport was nice. I haven't been in that area since I was a kid and it was my first time into the mall as well. On our way back, we stopped by the NY Montessori School (the chain that Rosemarie is part of), which was in the neighborhood. It was closed for Winter Break, but it was nice to just get a glimpse of it.

From there, we went back to Emily's apartment (where Rosemarie was staying) to pick up our things and headed to Queens. We did a little bit of shopping in downtown Flushing and then met up with my parents.
