Recently we came down to Batttery Park to view the Tall Ship Parade during OpSail 2012. It had been years since we had been down in this area of NYC. Arriving in Grand Central for the day, we took the # 4 express to the Bowling Green Station and you are right at this destination. It couldn't be easier. The...

We met my family here on a recent visit to New York. It was dusk, and we got to see the sun set over the city and the Statue of Liberty. You can get some nice shots of the city and the water from here, and although the Statue of Liberty is quite a ways away, you can still get...

A lot of us don't know that the sphere from the plaza in front of the twin towers survived and now sits in Battery Park. You can see where pieces of the building hit it and got damaged. It's very moving as well as the eternal flame they have near the sphere. The park has a lot of other history...
