I started Bastille Day with crepes at Rue de Crepes before exploring Times Square and the Empire State Building. The view was a little hazy, but still incredible. At least at the top the weather was cool with a nice breeze, the rest of the time it was 90 degrees and humid out!

To save some money, I took the HX Magazine SeaTea sunset booze cruise for only $20 (this included one drink ticket and a free buffet dinner where I ate with three lovely drag queens from New Jersey). The regular Circle Line cruise around Manhattan didn’t include drinks, dinner or dancing and it was $24!
