Today we went to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Unfortunately it was a very rainy day. We were quite wet when we arrived at Liberty Island, to top it off, there was a large security check, both at the port and at the entrance of the monument. Typically American, but in the end we had a good view of the statue. Then to Ellis Island, with no more security checks. Ellis Island is where 12 million people entered the US at the beginning of the 20th century. It was a very interesting experience.

After this we went back to the hotel to have a rest and in the evening we went to eat at Riverview restaurant in Queens. The food was very good, but the music was a bit less ;p
