After Cape Cod, I traveled into New York City and stayed across the Hudson River in New Jersey at an RV park right on the water and having a view of the Statue of Liberty. Not bad, considering this was the only RV park even close to the city! The weather, for the most part, was pretty warm - in the 60's, although the day before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving day were pretty cold, overcast and/or rainy.
Getting around was pretty easy. There was a train to the World Trade Center and from there, the subway was in easy reach. Here's a shot of what the WTC site looks like these days:
I guess they are starting to build the replacement "Freedom Tower". There was so much to see, from the Statue of Liberty, to Times Square, to the Empire State building, and so on. I spendt 6 days in New York, had a great time, and wish I could have stayed longer!
View from the Empire State building
St. Patrick's Cathedral - this was incredible!
Nice shot of the Statue of Liberty from a ferryboat
View of lower Manhattan near my "campsite"
One of the floats in the Thanksgiving Day parade
Times Square
Lots of cool churches
This one is called the Cathedral of St. John the Divine
Great architecture throughout the city
