Funny enough, we spent the last day of our trip away from Manhattan. Jin lightly mentioned that he wanted to go to Coney Island and as the trip went on, that "mention" came back again and again. He finally wore me down and we drove there on our last day. We couldn't have picked a better day to go. I was originally worried about the heat but when we arrived, it was breezy and the temperature was perfect.

We had lunch at Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitana and their pizza was simple and perfect. We spent a few hours at the fair and on the boardwalk where some people were dancing to music on one end and others were fishing on the dock. We had so much fun walking around that we forgot to ride the Wonder Wheel!

This turned out to be one of my favourite days on our trip. I learned my lesson, I will always listen to Jinny's suggestions from now on.

We ended the day in Brooklyn where we had a delicious meal at Five Leaves (we had their Rosewater Pavlova for dessert. Delicious!).

And the next day, we were off. Bye bye for now New York.

  2. Be happy you didn't ride the Wonder Wheel! As a lover of ferris wheels, I was severely disappointed. :( Your trip looks beautiful, makes me want to go back to NYC.
