Pope Francis has arrived in Manhattan by helicopter and hopped into a Fiat hatchback,traveling in the same modest style as he did in Washington.
The military helicopter touched down at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport near Wall Street after a short flight from John F. Kennedy Airport. He landed there after flying in from Washington.
Francis is headed to St. Patrick's Cathedral for evening prayers in a charcoal gray, four-door Fiat 500L with a yellow papal flag on the hood.
The pope has eschewed limousines on his U.
S. trip in favor of far smaller, or Italian-made Fiats.
In general,he has made a point of traveling in modest cars, as allotment of his emphasis on simplicity and rejecting consumerism.
