New York: Day 3 - Washington Square Park and Greenwich Village

Since it was Sunday and God commanded that we take it easy, we were a little slack in getting up so by the time we got moving it was close to 3pm.  The plan was to check out the East Village, Greenwich Village and the West Village but due to the lateness of the hour we decided to just check out Greenwich and have a late lunch/early dinner while we were there.

We got off the train at 8th Street and Broadway and started to head down towards Washington Square Park but ran into a street fair that run up Broadway to Union Square.  We were slightly distracted by the cheap trinkets and iPhone covers and eventually by a massive shoe sale.

Shopping done we headed back down to Washington Square Park.  It was a beautiful sunny day and the park was crowded, mainly due to a couple of street performers who didn't actually do anything that interesting but they had a lot of personality.  They also had awesome t-shirts that said "Twins are People Two"!  AWESOME!

"Twins are people two" - he runs

He jumps...

He reaches...

He dives through to ring...

And he makes it.  That was pretty much all people were standing around to see.

We finally made it to Greenwich Village where we stopped to have what was now dinner at Quantum Leap, a vegetarian cafe with awesome vegetarian/vegan desserts.

Most importantly, day three was the day Marc saw his first squirrel.
