| View of Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from Battery Park |
The
25-acre Battery Park, which is located at the southern tip of Manhattan faces
the New York Harbor. It is from here that ferries run to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Take a walk in the beautiful gardens facing the Hudson River on
one side and the busy New York streets on the other side. The Bosque Fountain
adds to the beauty of the already beautiful park. During summers, free shows
are organized in the park.

| The Sphere |
The
Sphere, which once proudly stood in the middle of the World Trade Center and
survived the grief-stricken 9/11 attack is temporarily placed here with an eternity
flame to honor the memory of the victims. The Eagle statue, which is the East
Coast memorial of the World War II is also hosted in the Battery Park.
Just
look across the street to see the magnificent Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom
House.

A
short walk from the Battery Park took us to the Bowling Green neighborhood of
New York. The iconic Wall Street Bull or Charging Bull stands here. When I
visited New York four years ago, there was no fence around the Bull and
everyone was gushing around the Bull to take pictures. Now there is a fence and
people stand in a line to wait for their turn to take a picture near the Bull.
