We did have every intention to make it to a gospel church service, but just didn't get to it. Today was our last day in New York and there were still a whole list of things we wanted to do.
Our first priority was to find Trent's jumper (no, we hadn't got that yet), which we accomplished quite quickly. We also went on an extensive hunt for a smart pen but to no avail (sorry Mum). Then we hit the souvenir stores.
Our second point of business was to make our way down to Coney Island. There were thousands upon thousands of people there, but we really didn't see the appeal. Many of the attractions have closed, presumably hit by the financial crisis, and much of the area was run down and dirty. It probably wasn't worth the long train trip, but at least we can say we did it.
We then made our way back to Brooklyn, with 3 walks in hand of course. We found a lovely litte cafe for lunch and spent a little while watching the world go by. We decided that Brooklyn Heights was the most appealing area we found and that would be our choice if we ever lived in New York. Our walks finished up at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, which we walked accross to take us back to Manhattan.
We made our way back to Maddison Square Gardens where we found a nice little cafe called The Stage Door, which had an extensive and very reasonably priced menu. We stopped here for dinner before making our way home to pack and have an early (or not so early) night.
