“The Long Exposure Selfie” 
This is the view of New York City’s downtown financial district as seen from Jersey City, New Jersey. The Freedom Tower stands mightily over the Hudson River where US Airways Flight 1549 had to make an emergency landing after losing both engines to bird strikes. It has popularly come to be known as “The Miracle On The Hudson”. This sight is less than half a mile from the Exchange Place Path train station. One can also reach this place via the New York Water Taxi Service. This place is truly a sight to behold and should be on everyone’s itinerary when visiting The Big Apple!
Fall had ended and the sun was setting early that day! The view of the freedom tower from the exchange place boardwalk was astounding!
Jersey City. Though not New York, Jersey City is as close as it gets. The two cities have shared significant and historical events together. Whether it was rescuing the passengers on US Airways flight of the “Miracle on the Hudson” or celebrating every 4th of July by a show of fireworks over the river, these two metropolises will forever be intertwined.

Everything was absolutely perfect. It was my lady’s birthday, and the restaurant downstairs even put a candle on my lady’s cake when she turned 40.

Bathroom was incredibly small. I have been a guest at this hotel for years but never had a room that wasn’t up to standard. Hotel has slipped in recent years. Breakfast buffet in the lobby is 75.00 per person. No room service. Just not a great place to stay anymore. Will look elsewhere in the future ...
