This was a May 22, 2015 trip by my sister Bette and I into New York City by Metro North Hudson Line train from Tarrytown via Yonkers to Grand Central Terminal and then MTA subway #5 train to/from Fulton Transit Center in Lower Manhattan. Sites visited include Philipse Manor in Yonkers, Grand Central, 9/11 Memorial, Trinity Cathedral, St. Paul Chapel, Custom House (former site of Fort George), St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Shrine, New York Stock Exchange, Broad Street, Beekman's Irish Pub, and return to Grand Central and Tarrytown. This was part of a larger overall trip to research family history which you can read about in my blog at http://prendergast-rent-war.blogspot.com/

 

There's 100 pictures in this photostream, so rather than post them all here, I've included the link below....

Hope you enjoyed the quick trip to Lower Manhattan and back!

That oculus near the end of your pictures looks huge!

That's the new Fulton Transit Center that unites the access points to several subway lines.

Did you meet up with any of the New York UO'ers?

No, I'm more interested in dead people. Seriously -- this trip was mostly about genealogical research. See the link at the top of my original post.
