Starting late night we got an overview of the city from the panorama deck of the Empire State Building. The next day we worked the city through beginning with a ferry ride to staten island, then northwards along Broadway (passing Wall Street & Ground Zero) through Manhattan, stopping in Chinatown and Little Italy with a later visit to the MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Central Park.
 

along the coast

Stopping at Newport for a short visit and overnighting in Provincetown on Cape Cod, we worked our way from downtown Manhattan to Boston. Where Newport showed off with luxury and richness of its people, Provincetown surprised us as being a complete gay community thus showing rainbow colors all over the city. It was a pleasureful experience as nightlife and dining was good as the nature around on Cape Cod interesting.
 

Boston

Our time in Boston we used for extensive shopping, a visit to Rockport just north of the city, and for an extensive walking tour through Boston itself. This tour was easy to do - you just have to follow a red line marked on the floor and you're guided to the city's main sights.
