Nachdem die Wettervorhersage für heute Hitze und später auch Regen angekündigt hatte, entschieden wir uns für einige Touren um unseren New York Pass zu nutzen.
Los ging es mit dem gigantischen Rockefeller Center/Komplex und Top Of The Rock, dem dortigen Observation Deck. Für eine fantastische Sicht über New York empfiehlt sich diese …

We arrived in New York late on the 8th of January. We checked into the Novotel in Times Square with a view of the crazy Times Square from our window. We headed out and went for a walk around Times Square and stopped for dinner at Applebees. After dinner we went to taste-dee-lites and had some of the best frozen yogurt we have ever had! On the 9th …

Today started really well, with a great run in Central Park which just reopened today after Sandy. It was full of frustrated marathon runners who were very upset since the race was cancelled just yesterday by 6:00 pm. After the run, we had a good breakfast at "The Corner", the café just down the road from our apartment. It was a New York style …

Our plan of attack for visiting New York City was to park the trailer in our campground in Lancaster, PA, drive the car to Philly, and take a Greyhound bus to NYC. Not trying to take the car or trailer into the city was the best choice we could have made. The bus ride was easy and cheap, and dropped us only four blocks from our hotel. In between …

A busy day of subways and ferries, visiting the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Centre. Highlights: pretty inspirational - we must not forget how the world has evolved to political freedom that allows the evolution of the will of the people. Lowlight: It seems to be a secuirity risk if you carry a child on your shoulders in a crowded area. I …

Today we boarded a metro transit bus on Fifth Avenue and quickly witnessed acts of kindness that we will long remember. A frail lady finished crossing the busy street in front of our bus to a blasting chorus of taxi horns. Our driver waited for her to board and held his position until she could take her seat. When she fumbled to locate her ticket …

*Caution don't read while eating* After what we though was going to be a quieter night I woke up to cries of 'Oh Dave' from Rich as he looked down in disgust at the pile of vomit left on our hotel floor, it was either a dodgy chicken at the Mexican place or one too many Angry Orchards. Anyway after clearing up and checking out of what was a basic …

Vanochtend waren we na onze feestavond gisteravond wel wat later wakker rond 6.30 kwamen we langzaam uit ons bedje weer een nieuwe dag voor de boeg. Na ons te hebben opgefrist op naar het ontbijt, wat we ons weer goed laten smaken. Meteen even alle leuke reacties lezen op onze trouwplannen. En de nieuwe verhalen er op zetten. Na ruim …

... Times Square but that was about it. Not too much to say there. Today (the 2nd) we went to the top of the Rockefeller Centre under the Karl Pilkinton theory of viewing (See Idiot Abroad). It is better to be in the cave looking at the ...

... waiter as their best offering. It was quite delicious, but way too much. We ended up bringing almost half a steak back to the Hotel. Full and happy we strolled back to the Hotel via the Rockefeller Center. Enjoying the summer evening in New York City. ...

... bridge and the UN building once more now having woken up the guy who puts the flags out or nicked them from the Rockefeller Center. Ending up in Chinatown once more being surrounded by all the sights, sounds and smells I longed to be in South East ...

... Station and the equally grand New York Public Library. With the Chrysler Building towering overhead we rocked on over to the Rockefeller centre finding the smallest ice rink ever and another tall building. So going to have a painful crick in the neck ...

... within bring me back to reality in short order however. Which was good because the next stop - the neighbouring Rockefeller Center - really, really impressed me. Despite the Great Depression the 1930s must have witnessed a flurry of massive ...

... in black and white. Admittedly, I have watched way too many Woody Allen movies... From the top of the Rockefeller Center, the views of New York are almost without peer, as you see the city expand below like a model plan - a lego city constructed on ...

... with a show at a running time of over 3 hours. Thinking with our legs Al and I legged it over to the Rockefeller centre instead in order to get a city wide view from the top. The Empire State Building is the one you have to go up because, well it ...

... the Tutu Center. What we shouldn’t have done: I wanted to meet Tina Fey, Alex Baldwin and maybe get a tour of the Rockefeller Center from funnyman Kenneth on the hit T.V. show 30 Rock. Instead, all we got was an elevator ride to a foggy rooftop. ...

... followed. After hurrying down the shops to get myself a jacket, jumpers, hat and gloves, I did the usual tourist things- the Rockefeller Center, Liberty Island, Ellis Island. But I also went to take in the place where John Lennon was shot- I guess I ...

... shows, shopped at Macy's, and took a carriage ride around Central Park. We saw the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, and the Statue of Liberty. And even the doomed Twin Towers. We walked on Wall Street and through SoHo ...
