They recently completed a restoration of the Winged Victory, but in reality all they acomplished was finding a small lost rock in Greece and re-inserting it back into the prow...

We had lunch at Tribeca on Rue Cler, giving me another chance to try salmon tartar.

I delayed making reservations for the Eiffel tower, and by the time I tried to get reservations the only time that was left for us was 7:30 Friday evening. 
I ended up buying 4 tickets by mistake since I placed them in my online cart twice.
I figured I could probably sell the other two tickets, since there are typically hour long lines for people without advance tickets.
It was a cloudy soggy night, and no one was waiting in line to buy tickets.
We had to wait for our 7:30 appointment time to go up.

The meal was a fantastic finale to a great trip through three amazing cities.
