No wonder we didn't run across any homeless in the subways during the entire time we were in New York City! Actually, we didn't run across any homeless anywhere in New York City while we were there. We did run into just a few strange characters walking through the subway cars, but none of them asked for money. Each just asked people if they had any spare food, clothing, or other items.

We walked through Battery Park on the way to the ferry to take us to the Statue of Liberty.

Construction of a new Statue of Liberty Museum is in progress.

Barbara and me at the Statue of Liberty.

Statue of Liberty photos. Unlike the last time I was here in the early 1970's, you can no longer go up to
the pedestal or the crown of the Statue of Liberty without making a reservation weeks in advance. So, we just
did the self-guided audio tour of walking around Liberty Island.

Cheryl at the DhaBa Indian Restaurant on "Curry Hill" (Lexington Street, New York City).

8 Indian Restaurants in just one half block of Lexington Street.

The only reference I could find to "Little India" in New York City was this one closed down restaurant.
The don't seem to call the Indian section of New York City Little India
but I did see it called Curry Hill in one reference on Yelp.

The subway station near The High Line was way far underground and had interesting art work.

I have no idea what this is. They look like stairways and ramps to nowhere.

The High Line

The High Line (also known as High Line Park) is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33 km) elevated linear park, greenway and rail trail. It was created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. The abandoned spur has been redesigned as a "living system" drawing from multiple disciplines which include landscape architecture, urban design, and ecology. Since opening in 2009, the High Line has become an icon of contemporary landscape architecture. -- From Wikipedia
