Mid day nap in the living room!
Breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien!
Entrance to the East River Esplanade.
View from the Esplanade looking south.
That's the Queensboro Bridge and you can see the tram!
Swimmers in the East River! Gross.
Looking north. That's Roosevelt Island on the right.
Chess tables set up on the Esplanade.
Unfortunately the entire Esplanade isn't open.

It was free for the week, so we checked it out.

Pulling into the Pier 11. You can see the indent in between the buildings
where the Elevated Acre is.
Lunch time!
Pommes Frites! YUM.
They have SO many (26 to be exact) different dipping sauces you can choose from!
We had roasted garlic mayo, sundried tomato mayo and parmesan peppercorn.
Wristbands for the movie at the Elevated Acre! This is so cool!
Once a week in the summertime there's a free movie showing downtown near Wall Street. It's right on the water and has great views. There's lots of fake grass to lie on, along with amphitheater style seating. Everyone brings blankets and food and settles in to watch the movie after the sun goes down!
So many people tucked between the skyscrapers.
Looking up.
The screen.
The schedule.
Tonight's Show: Desperately Seeking Susan, starring Madonna!
Jess and I brought snacks.
Serendipity! We got such prime seating, right
in the corner next to the window!
Omelette.
Sandwich.
Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate!
YUM.
We did some more wandering around the city and trying out new food places, but didn't take as many pictures as I wished we would have. Hopefully she comes back to visit again soon!
