East Coast/Canada - Day 3 (Friday, August 19, 2016: New York City)

We took the subway to Lower Manhattan and had breakfast at Zucker's Bagels and Smoked Fish. Next, we walked around the National September 11 Memorial and stopped by the Charging Bull. We took the Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. On our way from the Staten Island Ferry terminal to the Brooklyn Bridge, we had a quick lunch at Flavors Cafe. From the Brooklyn Bridge we took the subway to Chelsea Market and the High Line. Afterwards, we hopped on the bus to have dinner at Sotto 13, an Italian restaurant, and then walked to the Milk Bar for dessert. We hopped back on the bus to our hotel to end the day.
