Happy June! Hope everyone had a nice Memorial day in the sun! I will start from where I left off yesterday! I knew I wanted to lay out somewhere but had no idea where to go. My roomy and I decided it would be fun to take the Water Taxi around. Why not get a nice tan on a boat?
We stopped at a cafe near the apartment first for some breakfast. I got a mushroom and feta omelet with whole wheat toast.
We decided to pick up the taxi at Pier 84. We had a half hour before the boat was scheduled to come so we walked around and saw all the battle ships for Fleet Week. We also stopped at an outdoor bar for a quick drink.
I got a vodka soda with a splash of cranberry.
We waited for a while but the boat never came. We figured it was because of the Fleet Week events. It was packed around there. We decided to walk to the next pier. We walked along the water on the West Side Highway.
We checked out the helicopter tours but it was $200 for a 15 minute ride over the city! No thanks!
We continued walking and decided to stop and get a drink every time we saw a bar! We made it to Pier 66 which has an outside bar on a boat. I went one time last year and it was really fun.
I got a glass of sangria. They just ran out of fruit….so sad.
The first boat was the actual bar. We left with our drinks and continued walking. Probably not allowed? Oh well!
Hello.
Eventually we made it all the way to the World Financial Center. At this point we decided to skip the boat idea and continue with the bar hopping. We stopped at a Mexican place for some margaritas. I got a Passion Fruit margarita on the rocks.
I also had half of this Blood Orange margarita. This one did the trick if you know what I mean!
We continued walking and saw Battery Park and the Statue of Liberty! It started to rain for about 10 minutes which kind of sucked.
Our last stop was South Street Seaport. Here is a map just to show you exactly how far we went!
We wanted to go around the whole loop up to the Midtown stop but we got pretty tired by the time we made it to South Street Seaport. We got to see another Water Taxi Beach! This one had a mini golf course and ping pong tables!
We thought about walking across the Brooklyn Bridge but we decided to save that for another time.
We were starving after our 4 hour walk so we stopped at the Seaport Grill for some dinner. I got another margarita.
Pretty view from the table!
I got the Garden Burger on whole wheat bread.
Once again, I needed the fries!
The burger was topped with sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole.Very good!
We ended up ordering more margaritas but I could only handle one sip. It was time to go home! I looked it up and the walk was about 4.5 miles in total. It seemed like much longer but that’s what happens when you stop and drink every mile! At least I got some exercise in between drinks right? No better way to do it! Time to go grab some coffee now! Have a good one!
