Lower Manhattan

Howie, Luis and I took the E train downtown during lunch to get a feel of the Ticker Tape Parade.  To watch this parade from the sidelines, people start lining up at 6-7AM and they close the streets to pedestrians at 9AM, so we only can get to one block away from Broadway.  Howie and I have seen many ticker tape parades in the past, we know how to get close, but today we settle for a far view.

The first three photos show how narrow the Canyon of Heroes is.  The Canyon of Heroes is Lower Broadway from Battery Park running past Wall Street to City Hall. Broadway is an old indian path and was the stage coach route from NY to Boston as it is named in the Bronx, "Boston Post Road". The first three photos and the last one were taken last week. All the other photos are from today's parade
