Day 3






Today was another busy day.  We started the morning on the move as Kim, our city guide, lead us on a three hour tour of the city featuring Central Park.

After the park we moved south through Mid-Town, and then down to the southern end of the Island for a look at Ground Zero (We will do it more in depth tomorrow).







We then caught the subway back up to Rockefeller Center where we toured Radio City Music Hall, and then went to the "Top of the Rock"...the observation platforms atop Rockefeller Center.  We did this in place of The Empire State Building.  The lines are shorter, and the view is actually better because you can also see the Empire State Building from the Rock.






After that students and parents had some free time before dinner at the Heartland Chophouse Restaurant before having the rest of the evening free for shopping and site-seeing.  

Tomorrow's schedule includes the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, and Phantom of the Opera.
