Washington Square Park New York City

Halbzeit in New York mit noch mehr Geschichte und Kunst im Metropolitan Museum of Art. Das nenne ich mal ein riiieeesiiiigessss Museum. Auf 2,5 Stockwerken gibt es tausende Exponate über das alte Ägypten, Mittelalter oder die Geschichte von Musikinstrumenten bis hin zu moderner Kunst. Wir waren geplättet.
Da wir an diesem Tag noch nicht genug …

Today didn't exactly start off with a bang. I slowed down our early start by having a very long coffee with our host, Mark and asking him a ton of questions.

Mark works as a nursing/medical teacher, a nude model for art students and a masseur amongst other things. He likes drawing, appreciates art and has a lot of artist friends.

We spent 12 days in NYC. It was cool to become a part of the city. Since we had the good fortune of having two good friends, Dan and Jeremy, living in the city, we felt more like locals then visitors. We took it pretty easy while we were there. We usually slept in and then figured out what we would do with the rest of our day by around noon or so. …

Ben & Franzi waren acht einfach beeindruckende Tage in der Weltmetropole New York City. Eine Stadt die auf jedenfall einen Besuch wert ist und wie gut man da shoppen kann :) Ein Traum für jede Frau!!!!

Wir sahen dort unglaubliche viele verschiedenen Dinge, einige davon konnten wir auflisten aber wir sind uns sicher,dass wir bestimmt …

3.12.12 -> NYC, New York, USA

Yippiekayeeee!

Manhattanin eteläosan muodostama kolmio Soho-Tribeca-Battery Park alkaa olla viimeistä kadunpätkää myöten nuohottu. Päivittäiset retket rantalinjaa pitkin Battery Parkiin tai vastaavasti vastakkaiseen suuntaan Manhattan Bridgen kupeeseen ovat täyttäneet aamupäivät vajaan viikon …

For our last day in New York, we decided to do an extended visit to the 9/11 Memorial site and One World Trade Center (coming along quite nicely). It was a somber morning for both of us, bringing us back to that day and realizing the affect that it had on so many people and the area.

The memorial is very reflective of the events that …

We woke to brilliant sunshine again today when we opened our curved bedroom windows over looking Times Square. How glorious. As it was expected to rain and snow for the rest of the week we decided to make the most of the good weather and do some touring on foot. But first we wanted to get our voting out of the way before the deadline on Friday as …

Looking out the window of level 17 this morning, there were these fine little snow flurries floating around. As soon as they hit the window sill, they melted. The day turned into a lovely "warm" day with a maximum of 2. After a good complimentary breakfast - oatmeal, sausages, scrambled eggs, waffle, juice and coffee - it was time to hit the …

Another day in the city. We start off by grabbing something to bite on on our way to our Greenwich tour. We take the metro downtown. We arrive and walk toward meeting point. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.

We visit Washington sq garden. New towers being built are visible from here. It started raining during our tour. We were not …

Today we completed a very important milestone in our plans for New York, we visited the last two Apple Stores in New York City.  Now I can die in peace. OK .. it wasn't ever actually part of the agenda, it just kind of happened - and to be honest, they have nice clean toilets, and you don't have to buy anything to use them.  Something of …
