Last full day in NYC was the perfect schedule for the end of the trip! We started off by going to the Oculus which is the newest transportation hub for the World Trade area. Next we walked to the One World Observatory. This was built after 9-11 and it's now the tallest building in the U.S. Once we reached the 102 floor, we had 360 degree views of the city! After, we walked to the 9-11 Memorial/museum. This was very moving and great for our students to see. From here we ate at Hudson Foods where we ran into another school group from Hazen! Next was exploring in Rockefeller Plaza then dinner at Ellen's Stardust Diner. Here the wait staff are all musically trained and singing while we're there. They are all there in hopes of making it to Broadway. Last was a cruise along the Hudson River with exceptional views! We're officially boarded and heading back to ND. Thankful for a great crew of students and chaperones!
