On the fourth day we woke up early in the morning to take the BoltBus. We took the BoltBus for around 4 hours before we arrived at New York. When we arrived, the first thing that I did was to open Google Maps on my phone, because I was the person that was leading the agenda today. At New York our first destination was the New Yorker Wyndham Hotel. There we got lucky so we were able to check into one of the three rooms, so we were able to drop off our luggage in that room. At the same time we were told that the boy’s room had a beautiful view of the Hudson River, so we were excited to see the view after we come back from the long day. After dropping off our luggage, we went to get seven day metro passes and from there we took the metro bus to New York’s Chinatown where the tenement museum is located at. We then had a tour about “Then and Now”, where we learned about the neighborhood's history. After taking the tour we walked back to the metro station we stumbled upon an ice cream store called Minus Celsius that makes rolled up ice cream. After eating at Minus Celsius we took the metro for around two stops before we got off to walk to the High Line. Before we got to the High line, we took a short break near the Hudson River Park because many people were tired from the walk. When we arrived at the High Line and walked around half of the High Line before we had to go eat because it was getting pretty late. We then went back to Chinatown to eat at the 99 favors taste restaurant where we had hot pot for dinner. When we went back to the Hotel, the first thing I did when we went to our room is to try to catch a glimpse of the beautiful view. Instead, we just saw a tiny portion of the Hudson River and the other parts completely covered up by high rises. At this point I was disappointed.
