We had a lovely stay in Jersey City at Guy and Dana's first floor apt. It was nice to be so close to the ferries to go to Manhattan. It was only $7.00 and they dropped us off in a beautiful area, by the World Trade center. We enjoyed having a cocktail and apps in the spacious harbour, before taking the subway to Central Park. In Central Park we took a motorized bicycle carriage ride. At first we thought it was a little pricey, but it was well worth the money. Our tour guide Baris, was awesome, he took pictures of us in front of all the hot spots, we ended up with a beautiful photo album that we never would have achieved without his photography skills and knowledge of Central Park. Unbelievably Gorgeous!!! We stopped and had a snack and beverage at a French restaurant a block from Central Park. At a corner fruit and flower shop close to the park, they offered several large bouquets of fragrant exotic flowers for only $20.00, Wow!!! You could not by them anywhere for that price. They would make a beautiful addition to photos! From the park it is a easy,short walk to Broadway and Time Square, where of course, you will be entertained by the lights and glitter and also street entertainers. We got a real kick out of some of the talent. A few were a bit tacky, it was fun! Of course, there are plenty of eateries and bars. If you want to spend the big bucks there's plenty of places to spend that hard earned money. If your on a budget trip, you will have no problem finding some great deals. We got a caracature picture made of us, it turned out nice. There are quite alot of talented artists that will draw a portrait in a matter of minutes, very reasonable. We stayed in Manhattan until 2:00am and took the subway train back to New Jersey. Be sure to check the light rail schedule back in Jersey, if you don't want to use a taxi or use Uber. We didn't mind spending a little extra on a cab for front door service to the apt. There was a movie being filmed on Dana and Guy's block. We checked that out before calling it a night. Also, we spent an evening in Jersey City, very walkable neighborhoods. We felt safe walking around. The last day of our trip , we bought a $18.00 ferry trip to Ellis Island and Liberty Island, good for three days , including tours and audio. What a deal that was!!! A great picture taking opportunity. The apt is pretty much the way it's described and has PLENTY of hot water to take a hot bath or shower after a fabulous day of adventuring!!!!! Thanks Guy and Dana!!! The bagels were delicious!
