We started of the day by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge - and I were a little surprised by how the area was a lot cooler on the Brooklyn side. The Manhattan side of the bridge were resembled down Houston - unpersonal and a lot of "cold", big buildings. For people going to New York I would absolutely recommend walking (or bike) across the bridge.
If you walk passed all the big buildings (City Hall, NYPD, Justice court and so on) you get to Chinatown and Little Italy. It is not like the movies. Chinatown in New York is like other Chinatowns I have visited. A lot of crappy small shops selling things you do not need and a lot of nice small restaurants. Little Italy is nothing like Italy, but at least we got to see some sort of parade. Walking around on Manhattan on a Saturday is a challenge in itself - there is so much people....
The main attraction of the day was WWE World Smackdown Tour i Madison Square Garden. WWE står for World Wrestling Entertainment and is exactly what you think it is. It is what Hulk Hogan did, it is what former governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, did and it is was an old favorite The Undertaker is still doing. I remember watching wrestling on Sky One back in the day. Wrestling was a strange, but pretty cool thing. It is probably the event we've been to in New York with the best atmosphere. Lot better than the Yankees game and better than the Rangers game. It was quite different though. And the crowd was pretty young - it seems like the perfect thing to bring your kids to - if you do not mind the violence...
