So another place we had to visit was the Empire State Building. We did the elevator ride to the top and walked around to get all the views.

We were much more mobile back then, so it wasn't anything to take the subway to various stops and then see what the city had to offer. My pictures aren't that high of resolution, especially in St. Patrick's cathedral. I think I only had my movie camera with and these were screen captures. We saw Fidler on the Roof in the The Minskoff Theatre. It was amazing.

That evening we met Roland and Tess. They drove us to get a New Jersey side view of New York City.

So the next day we took the subway back into the city. This time we headed to Wall Street and the financial district. We also headed to the Statue of Liberty, but when we got to the Castle Clinton National Monument, near Battery Park, where they sell the tickets, we saw how long the line was and decided to just view from the distance. The ticket sales building was originally constructed in 1808 as the Southwest Battery to protect New York from the British.

So this day Tessie took us to view New York from New Jersey side in the daylight. I think where she took us was Liberty State Park.

We headed back to the city the next day to see Mama Mia at the Schubert Theatre (Winter Gardens Theatre). Mama Mia was a great play and the actors stayed after to sign peoples programs.

Dad had given me a picture of him in New York with Jack Dempsey at the time of his deployment for the war and thought I would try to find it since it was supposed to be on Broadway Street a few blocks from the theatre. We though we found it, but later noticed it was missing a P. Even though this one has several pictures of Jack, I don't think it was ever related to his business.

We also made sure to visit 5^th avenue, Radio City Music Hall, the Trump Building, The United Nations Building, and Central Station. We visited Times Square for some night views and pictures.
