Three Days in Gotham City
... ll see these old wooden water towers on top of most of them. We found out that these were to help toilets flush via gravity (after all, these are pretty tall buildings, with a lot of toilets!). After the Uptown tour and a short nap in our room, we walked a few blocks to get some dessert at The Bread Factory. Wonderful tiramisu and cheesecake.

We grabbed our bags and got a big shuttle van to our hotel, the tropics. The drive to the hotel was amazing, seeing all the high rise buildings and long beaches.
