One of my favorite walks in New York City starts at Battery Park. Wonderful views of Governor's Island, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The harbor and water are stunning. Keep on walking west and a paved walkway with gardens appears as you walk along the residential buildings of Battery Park City. I like buildings made of red, tan, and white stone and granite. They seem more monumental, more artistic, more like a sculpture. One of my favorite sculptures there is a life size lawn sculpture of a female cat upright, wearing a dress, hand in hand with a male cat, just like characters from a fairy tale.
I had lunch at Kaidou, a japanese restaurant, overlooking the Marina with Bento Boxes that are just 13.00. The service and surroundings were excellent. After that, I kept walking north until it was time to catch the train home. How lucky we are that we were made with legs so that we could feel the pleasure from walking! A wonderful day.
