New York Day 2

Dinner last night, another visit to Times Square, 9/11 Memorial and Staten Island Ferry, Wall Street ...
This was the Tick Tock Diner on 8th Avenue, apparently a well known diner and certainly an experience 
A balmy night so we walked to Times Square again to find that it was packed to overflowing on a Saturday night with an open air concert at one end of the Square
Next full day started with a visit to the 9/11 Memorial
Two pools set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre. Thirty foot water falls on four sides with water falling into a central void
Anne and Terri standing by the South Pool with interesting reflection of buildings in the glass face of the new World Trade Centre Tower 4 
A reflective moment reading the 9/11 Memorial Guide
The new World Trade Centre Tower 1 is 1776 feet and is now the tallest building in the US.

The Statue of Liberty (wish I had had a longer telephoto lens!)
