Today, instead of getting the bus down to Lower Manhattan to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, we decided to catch the NYC Subway. I was surprised at how accessible it is as many people have said it’s not. Of course, the newer rolling stock is much lower to the platform but an electric wheelchair may still require assistance from staff…
That morning we checked online as to which stations had elevators and it seemed that the station that we wanted to get off, South Ferry was accessible. However when we got there, one discovered that there was no elevator, just steps! It was probably ones oversight, however, one would recommend planning a journey on the Subway with caution.
The Brooklyn Bridge is a great way to view the city from a distance and it is accessible all the way, just a little bumpy…
After relaxing in the hotel for a while it was time to go to Broadway to watch The Lion King. A large proportion of the Broadway theatres are fully ADA compliant thus one was able to have an unobstructed view of this great show
Tomorrow, we are going back down to Lower Manhattan to visit the Freedom Tower in addition to catching the FREE ferry to Staten Island.
