NYC - Day 3

Slept in once again today and got to our 2pm destination just a little late to meet a 'mafia' character to start a walking tour of New York hosted by New York Accomplice. The idea is that you're an accomplice taking a job with the mafia and you follow clues to various drop off spots throughout Manhattan. The tour took about 3 and half hours and they started us off by pointing us to a bar for a round of drinks. I guess I can't write too much detail about what we saw since it's all supposed to be a secret, but the weather was about perfect. Not as cold as the last two days, so it wasn't too hard walking around. The trees had that wonderful, stark, barren, fall/winter look to them (if that makes any sense) with their branches reaching towards the sky against the gigantic backdrop of New York architecture. The groups were small, so it was interesting to meet and talk with the other people while working together to get to the next destination. There were plenty of surprises including live frogs, a bike ride on the Brooklyn Bridge, a russian doll, and Frank Sinatra - ask me and I'll explain more. The producers and actors did a wonderful job of putting it all together and it ended with a bang :)
